Possibly so, for a winders user. The last time it grabbed and quarantened a incoming mail was on June 10th, So either the mail server I use has excellent filtering, which I know to be false as its a qmail server I help Jim setup in 1999. Its had a few patches installed since. I also scan the 3 areas where I might find bad code on this machine once daily. Since I host my own web page, see sig, I scan that too, but AFAIK, no one has write privs thru it. This machine needs to catch a breath occasionally too. Its my do everything machine. And the only one on the premises with its screen , keyboard, mouse at sitdown height and a comfy office chair. I usually write gcode here, proof it on a simulated machine here, and send it to whichever machine is going to do the actual metal or wood carving. I appreciate the service, but I am not a "paying" customer. If I can reduce the server load, I feel like I should. AFAIK, no one has ever found a way to repeal TANSTAAFL.
