You're kidding, right? One big strength for Mac is usenet clients. Why
would *anyone* run usenet on a PC if they had a choice?? There are so
many viruses that hang out there.

If they don't produce the product you want, they "don't care"? By that
token I'm not sure there is a software company operative that cares.

Buying Unison seems to have straightened out MT-Newswatcher. Instances
of deadly twirling whatsit have gone to nearly zero.

Now that I have to rebuild the filters for name switching devils, I
might try Unison just to see if it fared better or perhaps disappeared
with my iTunes radio station links.

Are you and I the only ones who recall that John made a nearly identical

On a lark the Crossover guys have actually TRIED to get Windows viruses
running in Crossover/WINE. They failed :-) To run properly or even at
all a Windows virus really needs an actual Windows installation, as
found on a real PC or running under virtualisation on a Mac.

FYI: for more info on what CRossover/WINE is see
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_%28software%29> and
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrossOver>.
