BTW, for those complaining about slow downloads, one of the (only) nice
things about Windows is that you can actually work on something else while you're waiting for the download. Isn't technology wonderful? ;-) -- TL, Tim ------------------------ And how does the windows operating system relate to slow downloads? Just wondering... You could also tie a fly, **** - ups, meant make "love" to your girl/boyfriend or make a cup of joe while you wait for a download ![]() -- Tight lines Thomas Schreiber Århus, Denmark |

Isn't technology wonderful? ;-) So how is that different from any other reasonably modern OS? At least with Mac OS and Linux you don't have to worry about the download infecting you with a virus while you're working on something else. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

Actually, it's your fault, because you didn't quote the identity of the original poster in your reply. My server hasn't shown that original post, so I did a cut and paste from your reply.

That's mainly because Linux and Mac aren't popular enough for the hackers to make the efforts needed to spread viruses.

If either system was used as widely as as Microsoft, they'd be the ones that were getting hit. That's a big factor, but it's not the whole story by a long shot. Both Mac OS and Linux are "fresher" operating systems than the various flavors of Windows. They've inherited less legacy code, suffer less from code bloat, and are generally more comprehensible and maintainable. You can add to that the tendency of Microsoft to tightly integrate non-OS applications (like Explorer) into Windows (for competitive reasons, to exploit their near monopoly), in opposition to good software-engineering principles. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |
