(1) While no lover of MS products they do have their place and I do a
lot of design work on them for my customer (and my company just filed
for a patent on my behalf for a defence in depth security architecture
based primarly on Windows products) but given the results of a recent
study at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where it put two
unpatched Windows XP systems on the 'net, and both were compromised
within 20 minutes. you'll find nothing I personally depend on attached
to a Windows systems, all Mac and Linux for me.

Oh, I've nothing really against MS - Office, etc., are decent, useful
products in their element. And I don't put anything real or truly
important anywhere near open networks of any kind G.

(2) While I may have seen "Lookout" used by you it's been in use in our
internal Mac Users Group since that product came out.

Oh, I've no claim on "first use" (at least I don't think I do), but I am
among the earliest of users (it's a LONG story) and I've discovered all
sorts of "6th-degree"-type of usages with some pretty weird paths. I
used it here several years ago and noticed several switched to using it
- didn't know if you were one of them, sorry.
