"UnWise" files suddenly found on my PC

I tried my best to stay out of this, but when it comes to the Mac, I 
have to give my two cents worth.
What would that "professional software" be?  MS Office or a 
drafting/CAD program? Office runs perfectly well in either Mac or PC, 
as do most other popular programs. I work in a purely Win-NT/2000 
office, but also have Macs networked with our PC based system, in the 
prepress department. No problems.
The closest  thing to a problem I ever experienced involved trying to 
use Virtual PC (PC emulation software) on the mac. The Mac was fine but 
like a real PC, trashed my entire Windows 98. Eventually had to 
reformat.
I have been using Macs since the old "SE". 8 Mhz of blistering power on 
an 8" mono screen. Now run a G5 and a LCD for about the same price I 
paid for the SE. I agree, the Wintel box is cheaper and in some ways 
superior. But for some of the same reasons we drive a VW are the same 
reasons some of us like to "think different"

Oh and by the way. No one  wants to waste their time writing a virus 
for the 5% of the market (Macs). Never had a problem with a web based 
virus
