[DeTomaso] POCA website malware warning?

[fastgrandma]

 We've always had Macs in our household fortunately. ?Jack was forced into the computer world by a company that only used Macs so it made sense.


At my last job the doctors at long last gave into going with the computer world - yeah, I know, one of the last for college educated guys who's whole family probably used them! ?Anyway, in spite of my and another employees encouragement to buy Macs they went with PC's. ?I soon discovered just what PC meant = Piece of Crap! ?Oh well, it did add to my hours on time card as rather than simply shut down like on my Mac, I had to go through each and everything I'd opened before being able to do so! ?What a time consumer.

I switched to Mac for work too. 
 
Most of my heavy work is on Linux, so I need SSH, VPN, Remote Desktop, 
VNC, and X-Windows, but I also use Word, Excel, Outlook, Project, and 
sometimes Powerpoint and Visio.  Mac has all of that except for Visio. 
There isn't a Mac Project, but there's Merlin, which can read Project, and 
it is probably better as good as Project, but I haven't used it that much 
to verify. 
 
Best of all, my Macbook Air is just as fast as the day I bought it, and I 
don't run virus scans.  My biggest hassle is dealing with IT groups that 
refuse to support anything but Windows.  So, for example, our problem 
ticketing system will only run with IE.  It would probably work with 
Safari, but there's a check when you login.  If you aren't running IE, it 
complains and exits. 
 
I bet if you included the total cost of running Windows (virus scans, 
software that isn't included) that Mac would be the same price as Windows. 
 
I'm upset with myself for waiting so long to make the switch.
