Re: [DMCForum] AOL...

["Videobob Moseley" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's MY plan.
I have to admit, the MAC is a better machine, but not when it comes to 
priceing,
parts and software options, and sources for goodies.
I also am not crazy about the interface when I have grown up on a PC.

The BEST virus protection?
There is no such thing.
I keep EVERYTHING backed up.
I have over 2 Terrabytes here, and several external 300BG and lotsa DVDs.
Back everything up, and reload everything when the shit hits the fan.
Problem solved.
Heck, I upgrade all the time anyway, I have about $15,000 in this computer 
system
right now.
