Hi all.
Comming from the world of viruses, wich means windows, I wonder if I
need antivirus software on macs and if so, wich one do you recommend
out there? I know that linux is very safe itself from viruses and
other bad stuff and I also think mac is the same.
But I ask anyway if anyone know abou
I hear mac is very extremely safe. I do wonder the same myself though
I mean if it really the best option to just totally assume we'll never
get a virus?

Hello Tony,
You don't need antivirus software on the Mac. Sometimes, such software
can cause more problems than it solves. The only problems you might
encounter are viruses in MS Word documents that you could pass on to
Windows users. If you get a lot of MS Word documents as attachments to
Hi there, I haven't found the need for one personally, but my father

google search to find it and don't have the link off hand.

When you first turn on a new Macintosh you can just wait a minute or
two and VoiceOver will launch assuming that you might not know a
specific keystroke before you have the Mac to read

Hi fellow visionaries,
music was my first love, and while it certainly won't be my last, it
still plays an important role in my life. So as soon as I learned that
the Mac comes with a music suite called Garage Band, I started
experimenting with it. I have now produced five pieces of music with

Is it correct that the Iphone offers a stereo microphone input?

Hi Will,
I don't know that international people can't take advantage of the

You might have better luck working with your outdated copy by using

I would say you don't need anti virus software, I've had my mac for
over a year and have not had any problems. Of course, the best defense
against that kind of thing, on any operating system really is good old
fashioned common sense.

Hi Trahern,
Barry is correct that your Safari bookmarks are stored in a file named
Bookmarks.plist under the Library/Safari folder for your account, but if you
want to create a file of bookmarks that you can easily transfer to any other
browser (such as Opera when it becomes fully accessible)
how do you import all your emails from outlook express?
