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.

McAfee® Internet Security Suite - Special edition from AOL provides
our highest level of protection, with additional safeguards not
included in your current version of VirusScan Plus:

* Faster start-up, shut-down, and scan times allow you to play
games, watch videos, and be productive on your computer without your
security software slowing you down
* Identity-theft protection helps you shop, bank, and trade stocks
online safely
* Network monitoring alerts you when intruders attempt to connect
to your home network

Plus, the newly released McAfee 2009 changes the game on how threats
are identified. McAfee’s Active Protection technology can analyze and
block a new threat in seconds, rather than waiting hours for updates
like other computer security programs. This is important because a
previously unknown virus can attack through a Web site, e-mail or
instant message as soon as you connect to the Internet.

Every month as many as 5,000 new online threats are discovered. With
that number growing at an alarming rate, you cannot afford to be
without comprehensive PC protection. Upgrade now to take advantage of
AOL's special offer -- doing so will help avoid a lapse in your
computer’s protection and provide additional peace of mind.

Sincerely,

AOL Member Services

Take those trashy old PC's out to the curb on pick-up day and buy
yourself a Mac.

Mac is okay if you don't need or use much software! I wouldn't own one,
personally, unless all I needed to do on it is write email and spend all
my time in a newsgroup!

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.
