Dear bschnautz,
The software license for your McAfee® VirusScan® Plus - Special
edition from AOL will expire next month. Once your current license
expires, your PC may be at risk. To help you stay protected, we have
partnered with McAfee to offer you our premium security software at a
43% discount off the normal retail price.
Take those trashy old PC's out to the curb on pick-up day and buy
yourself a Mac.

Well, i can make my way around a PC and their paid for. so...

why?


Well, if all you are doing is reading newsgroups, I guess it doesn't
matter. I've found that several of the software packages I used on my PC
seem to work better on a Mac. I'm down to one PC program that hasn't
been recompiled to work on a Mac, so I still "boot camp" into PC mode
when I want to use that software.

Virii, btw, aren't much of a problem on Macs...

Hell, if it's just one program, why dual boot? You could just run
Windows virtual. There's Parallels, or even VirtualBox will run on a
intel Mac.

I've got VM's product, which I used to use. Tried a demo of parallels
about a year ago and didn't like it much. I don't use the Windoze
program that often.
