I've just decided it was time to leave behind the slow dialup access I =
was born and bread with and ordered DSL (through Qwest) at home.

I handle the abuse department for a major Iowa-based ISP here in Des =
Moines, so am more than familiar with the various port scanning and =
trojan issues that make me glad I don't use Windoze. I'm wondering if I =
even need some kind of firewall for my OS 9.x.x iMac. In the year+ that =
I have spent dealing with abuse issues, I have yet to EVER talk to an =
Apple user. I'm thinking I probably don't need a firewall, but who =
knows? Maybe?
