yes i have a virus checker also.... but my scanning work computer is not connected usually to the web... i "turn it off the web" normally when i am working on photo.... i have an ipad for porn lurking and LF comments... i really love my ipad... you know most people want their computer to do everything....i have 4 computers that are specialised. Server, scanning, ipad ...and a computer for backup and mass storage...they all work together .... Apple has made my life so much simpler .... and my ipad was the most expensive of the 4 componets.....now if i can only get my scanner to work on my ipad darn.
I worked at Apples Genius Bar for five and a half years. In that time I saw only one virus for a mac. It was a trojan that you would get by going to adult websites, a popup would say you need to install this video codec to watch the video. It was no video codec but would mess up your internet preference files. Defeat those messed up preference files then restart the computer to force the machine to make new ones and you were fine.
Yes Apple quickly squashed it but the point is just be aware of what you are installing and you will be fine.
I had plenty of customers that would put virus protection software on their computer to be "safe" then they would come and ask why their computer is running slow. After disabling the anti virus software the computer would no longer run slow.
I'd rather not slow my computer down so i won't install anti virus software on my mac. Like I said just be aware of what you are installing and you will be fine.

Oh I have a time machine backup drive, a photo working drive, a backup clone of that photo drive, I just need another "clone" drive apparently for the main drive... Haha
I could restore the old OS but I like the new features, and I have a ton of film to develop anyway so I can focus on that and scan after
For all our whinging, the upgrade is now available http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/s...tform=OSF_M_X9, which, all things considered, is pretty speedy of them really...
Marc!
