One of my users got 2 today. Thankfully, she's smart, and using OS 9.
OS X: Where software installation doesn't require wizards with shields.

On a 266Mhz iMac with 128 megs RAM?
I don't think so. That is and always will be an OS 9 machine.

5 this week. Stopped at the Virus filter.

I'm going to pull your head off because I don't like your head.

I haven't received any viruses. Waiting for the PPC 970 G5 then I will switch to Mac OS X!
