"UnWise" files suddenly found on my PC



Well, here's MY $.02:

  The 12oz Craftsman claw hammer is superior to the Stanley.

  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
