[DM-MUG] Fwd: [MacLaw] Why I use a Mac

[Victoria L. Herring]

 From another list, a cautionary tale...as if we don't know.

>My sister recently recounted their problems with their virus plagued Windows
>computer, which crashed just as my nephew was putting the finishing touches
>on his school report. Needless to say, that 12 year old was quite upset. The
>problem was traced to a virus, even though anti- virus software was running
>on the machine. My brother-in-law, who is a hardware engineer, later
>installed a different hard drive onto the machine. Before he put it in, he
>reformatted the drive. Even with a "clean" drive, the anti-virus software
>still found THREE viruses!
>
>Guess where my brother-in-law got the replacement hard drive? It came out of
>his sister's computer, rendered useless because a virus had made its way
>onto the motherboard.
>
>Give me a Mac any day!
