Not completely. The big issue with Outlook is that it uses
Internet Explorer to render. It is POSSIBLE [1] to plant
virus or worms in a computer using media imbeds and attachments
with the outlook client. It is also possible to grab the user's
address book from within outlook, so Norton, etc. can't stop
this.

[1] Most of this can be stopped by common sense, namely don't
allow Active X from anything but trusted sites, and never
directly open an attachment.

And although it is possible to hit a computer using mp3
files, don't know of any non-lab incidents.

This would seem like a good comparison if it weren't so whacked
and as bad as comparing a twin-3Gig Supermicro to a 386
attempting to run Win2000. Mac OSx won't run on the older
Apple hardware, and a Sparc 5 is a museum piece. Try a
Blade series, but it IS worth noting that you still CAN
run Solaris on museum grade hardware, something few other
operating systems can do. Try Win2000 on an Amstrad PPC640.

I don't remember Apple ever opened up manufacturing to
everyone. There were some Mac clones, most of which were
higher end systems, bigger than anything Apple offered.
Then when Jobs took over Apple again, the first thing he
did was shut down any and all hardware clones.

I think he meant full-size SUV's, which aren't as nimble as Jimmy's, Blazers
(not the K-5), Pathfinders, and the older 4-Runners (before they became
luxury).

If you think a 4Runner is a luxury poseur, then what in gawd's name is the pathfinder,
with its eunuch-body construction and Pinto ground clearance? Granted the Pathfinder was
good when it first came out, but that was a LONG time ago (likewise, the earliest Nissan
aka Datsun 4x4 trucks were good but that changed a long time ago). The problem with
domestics like the S-10s is that GM (and all the rest) take their full size trucks and
scale them down to medium/compact size instead of designing something new from the ground
up. BTW, I'd like to see a stock Pathfinder with swampers - unless they come in a P235
size range.....

Of course there is on Chevroleting, that is my point. There is Jeeping, as

What's wrong now? As a Jeeper, I really want to know. Jeeper is a noun.

Dictionary? We don't need no stinking dictionary.

Well, I wouldn't go QUITE that far <g>. I rarely use anything but the
browser simply because I still use mostly OS/2. There I use a news
reader that I have yet to see equalled (ProNews/2, for which I also
have the source code and CVS repository access) and I'm a whole lot
happier with the LAN functionality and security than with what I get
from Win-whatever. I use a Java email client that is free and
actively supported so I don't need Mozilla for that. Linux would give
equivilant LAN functionality - same BSD-derived stack - but OS/2 paid
the bills for a lot of years so that's what is installed. It ain't
broke so...

I should look at Forte again; I've heard good things about it.

I have never heard of accents in the UK as being called "British" in
Britain. I have heard only foreigners using this term.

Maybe I missed something, but I don't think I have a "British accent."

Since Daimler is a German name, it would seem to me that that is the
"correct" way to pronounce it. How does one pronounce "Jaguar," by the way?
