[Rhodes22-list] computer virus and elle

[Tootle]

Elle:

       Why do hackers and other misfits attack Microsoft based systems. 
There must be a reason.  Could the sheer number of msdos based systems be a
factor?  

        I have been around since before there were any apple computers. 
Have you ever heard of Zlog?  There were many around.  So how did apple
grow?  If you listen to Mr. Jobs and long time members of the apple family
they will say that they offered a better product, cheaper.  

        Then how did there get to be so many msdos systems, if they were the
inferior system and more expensive?  

         Fire walls and bad stuff filters work fine.

addendum about your computer mouse:  

Abstract: Mouse Balls Available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit) 
Mouse balls are now available as FRU. Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate
or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of
the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should
only be attempted by properly trained personnel. 

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the
underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than
foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon manufacturer of
the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off method. Domestic
balls are replaced using the twist-off method. Mouse balls are not usually
static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden
discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used
immediately. 

It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls for
maintaining optimum customer satisfaction, and that any customer missing his
balls should suspect local personnel of removing these necessary items. 

To re-order, specify one of the following: 

P/N 33F8462 - Domestic Mouse Balls
P/N 33F8461 - Foreign Mouse Balls
