Yesterday when I woke, I went to check my IM email and noticed NAV went crazy, worm after worm had been caught. I also noticed my ISP said I was over my limit on emails. Checking found 68 dupes of one letter, 138 dupes of another. I am guessing either the ISP or Yahoo Groups went crazy with the cyberattack. And I know Microsoft will use the attack as just one more reason to go with their "trustworthy computing", ie Palladium. Uh, hello people. Macs don't get Windows viruses/worms and neither do Unix boxes, all flavors. There is life after Microsoft and life can be sweet indeed without the threat of getting attacked. Sides, I do like Unix. Now if I could find/build an open source alternative to Incredimail, I would be happy. I AM addicted, love creating. However, IM has instituted draconian DRM into their program. Now I paid for mine, did within days of downloading it. Some people have not and have even cracked the program. Now I am not in favor of cracks but the software is still in beta stage. I could hardly consider it a finished product as buggy as it is. And I understand not wanting to pay for beta software. I am still bugged by the bugs thou. And I am no big enthusiast of DRM. So far, Apple has the best
DRM natch.
