Hi all,



First, no metal content in this one, and second, I'm a Mac user... as a matter of fact Mac's are all I've ever had and know.



However looking through this, it looks like 'Vista' may be a joke as far as security goes:

If the silly little government types aren't worried about Vista security, imagine the field day your typical garden variety 'real hacker' will to have with it.

There are 5 flavors of Vista, and the cheap ones for home don't have the security the business versions have.

It also says that the traditional "unplug and go" style of forensics may not work. You may need to capture keys in memory from a running computer before you take the device.

That hardly makes the new features "a joke." Stupid users will still be stupid.

Whats a Mac?

A third-rate hamburger.

third-rate ?? You flatter them.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I rate them about -3. To me, they are YUK

I prefer a pizza Alan, in Gosnells, Western Oz. VK6 YAB VKS 737 - W 6174

It's a Unix system with nice packaging and an easy to use gui, built on solid hardware. Kinda like Sun but with white instead of grey.

Some indigestable thing you get at a fast food place with "Golden Arches". :-) ...lew...

Does it work as a drill press AND a table saw?

I use a different scaling: First Rate: 1-10, Second Rate: 11-100, and Third Rate: 101-1000.

I put McDungs' about 750.

Whataburger [a primarily Texas chain] as 1.

Burger King, Jack-in-the-Box are ~35.

Wendy's is 999. [McDungs' at least uses ROUND patties...]

A burger joint. Now please stop feeding the trolls. ;)
