The chance of someone giving you a virus or hacking your machine is very, very low. I've had Macs connected to the internet since 1995, and I have not seen _any_ attempts of hacking or virus infection from the internet. I've had one virus, in 1992, but my nice antivirus-program, GateKeeper, just removed it. -- Morten Dreier http://morten.dreier.no/
