You really must get out a bit more. The beauty of the PC world is that PC's 
come in an almost infinite variety of shapes, sizes, and colours. You can 
even get transparent ones with flashing lights inside!

Mac owners are lucky I suppose that few virus writers waste their time 
targeting Macs, but PC owners who get viruses only have themselves to blame. 
With a firewall and a viruschecker (which update themselves automatically - 
you don't even have to click on one button) and similar automatic updates of 
Windows, viruses are not a problem. I've five PC's and never had a virus 
infection. Yes, I get viruses sent to me, but my ISP removes most of them 
and sends me a cleaned email, and on the rare occasion that that doesn't 
work, my viruschecker identifies it and removes it. So viruses shouldn't be 
a reason for not using a PC. If you can use Photoshop, you should have the 
brains to take precautions against viruses, trojans, and the like. Spam is a 
far bigger problem than viruses to me, but there again, you can make your 
own filters in Outlook Express (I find this is better than letting your ISP 
filter spam - they tend to take out most Yahoo groups emails).

Vive la difference - between PCs.  ;)
