Re: Port 135?!
Hee hee! Why would anyone even own a pc for that matter? 95% of worms, virii, and nasty scripts are written for the M$ platform. The other 5% are diviied up between Mac and Linux. I haven't run a virus scanner on my Mac in years. My pc I find I'm constantly checking for all kinds of crap. I spend more time doing maintenance on it than anything else. What fun is there in that? I'm way more productive on my Mac. |

You are preaching to the choir here. My desk is surrounded with 2 Mac's (G3/G4 OSX) and 1 Intel Linux (RedHat 9) Desktop, 1 Linux RedHat Notebook.
(almost) Everyone in my office building is running around like heads with their chickens cut off. Some offices have high-end firewalling using outboard NetScreen & IPIX iron, but the worm still got through.
Here is the funny part; I had a scheduled sales presentation (remote data disaster recovery services) today and one of the "competitors" whose pitch was 2 hours before mine ran my meeting late...his laptop PP presentation wouldn't fly...his PC laptop kept going into a forced shutdown. My StarOffice demo ran like clockwork.
Why people continue to put up with this "platform" escapes me. |

Hey Alky,
Thats the same argument most people have used just before they got AIDS.
"Hey, I only get involved with 5% of the people I date, I am OK" "What fun is there in protection" "I am way more active doing it my way"
Oops, sorry we are talking about computers, not people here. |
