Yes, my main machine is a linux box. I have at least 5 working
computers (1 linux, 1 BeOS, 2 win2K 1XP), not all of them are used all
the time but they all work. Macs make shitty "supercomputers" they are
too expensive and too insecure, and come with very poor support from
Apple who seems to think security through obscurity is a sound
security practise.

Seems strange somebody would release a spyware remover for macs if no
such thing exists.

At least windows releases timely security updates. But like I say, I
don't normally use windows, I haven't for almost 2 years. Work paid
for win2k on the laptop, the desktop and Xp for the other laptop. I
haven't paid for windows since I bought a machine loaded with win98 6
years ago. How much have you paid for apple OS's <snicker>

If there is one thing worse than closed source software, it's closed
source hardware. Macs are way overpriced, poorly warranteed, and not
easy to upgrade. Is there anything a mac can do that a pc can't? Nope
didn't think so, yet there are so many things PC's can do that macs
can't. Nah, you are the sucker, you paid far too much for a product
that is barely half as useful as it should be and not even close in
either quality or durability as it's competitor which costs half as
much and has plenty of free OS's for it and even more free software.

I know nothing of this, but you don't have to tell me about the evil
empire, I already know, it's been done to death especially by mac
people that have a chip on their shoulders.

I don't use windows servers so this does not concern me. However,
considering that a mac can't even scan slides without locking up, I'd
rather take my chances with windows if I had to.
