NIS 2010 won't even let me click on malware websites off Google without just raisin' hell if I dare click it.....even before I click it! Every google website is pre-rated by NIS 2010, right on the Firefox browser. My Windows experience goes back to DOS 1.0 on an IBM PC running 4.77 Mhz on on 8088 with 16K of RAM. All this Apple koolaid bullshit from the fanboiz base just doesn't wash. I know complete computer ignorants running Win without any protection at all and they very RARELY ever get infected, though their system is running 24/7 on a cable modem.....with no protection at all! Your bullshit just doesn't wash. It's CERTAINLY not worth pay double, triple or worse to be in the reality distortion field coming out of Cupertino and Daddy Steve's bank account. Crossposted from ipad over here to ATTWS....and responded to in attws. What the hell is iPad worrying over Windows viruses for, anyways?? -- Creationism is to science what storks are to obstetrics.

That's "just about every other carrier"? Actually, the iPhone tether with AT&T, or with any other provider. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.

Or shall we go back to Turing? ;) Nope. You have to go back to the wheel and fire, or even further back to climbing down from the trees, walking on two legs and using a brain ... at least some of us do. ;-)
