Scary.

That has been around a while. Apple people are just in denial.



You have an amusing view of the world.

Just reflecting the attitude of apple users who think they are
invulnerable.


The Apple computer users I know are careful...and smart enough to not
seek advice about computer virii, ransomware, malware, et cetera, on a
near-dead newsgroup that used to be about boating.

I advised you of nothing. The article provided some advice.

I would advise you to get a life outside of Usenet - seriously.


Look at the loss we'd suffer...no one to laugh at - seriously!
