if this is Old news to you guys-- Jay

Tempest in a teapot. Apple says "here are some third-party programs, presented without endorsement," and suddenly it's "the sky is falling!"

Wake me when there's an actual Mac OS X virus in the wild. (Anything that requires you to manually type in your password before it runs does not count.)

My wife owns an art gallery and we have approximately seven PC's. After I set up her network I DID NOT install any virus protection. About a year later she hired a system admin to come in to check her network after a power outage fried the Ethernet switch.

The guy couldn't believe that we had no virus protection and ran some diagnostics convinced that he would find tons of problems. The report came back clean.

I have a post facility which has more than 8 macs and 5 PC's with no virus protection and not a single attack or problem. Of coarse I'm also not going to tell anyone where it is...

seems like that Apple knowledgebase page has been "disappeared"

As always keep eyes and ears open and be aware. All computers could be infected at anytime so far Macs have a very strong immune system.
Stay informed but at the same time don't freak out over any reports of Mac virus'.

Well I see now apple has backed out on virus statement --

I have my mac online and have not had any problems that I know of -

Apple just reached 8 percent of computer sales -
Its just a matter of time before some jerk writes some bugs--Jay--

Macs don't get viruses. Anybody that buys & installs Mac virus software let me know because I have some swampland in a hurricane zone I am selling...CHEAP

Joey, you mean you have available an attractive woodsy property in a pristine natural environment with periodic fresh ocean breezes?

Sounds perfect.

Excellent. You know, I'm really getting quite excited about this. After all, I'm looking forward to retirement and need a peaceful place.

Did I mention that I have very considerable life savings? So price is not an issue.

Well, here's the deal.

And this is the truth about how I can suddenly afford to buy your land.

A few weeks ago I received this very nice email from Nigeria which said that a distant relative of mine had died and left me $20,000,000.

If you guys and I can scrape up the cash - like a down payment of maybe $2000 to help pay the Nigerian lawyers, we all stand to make a buck. No?

I have already sent $15,000 and they sound like really nice reputable people.

Not to go off-topic or anything, but I happen to have some totally natural, herbal supplements here that will ? well, let's just say the results are AMAZING.

PM me for details.

And don't forget to submit your film to the Cinema Classics Festival, now called Burbank Indie Movie Festival! They have been accepting submissions since around 2006 and so it's gotta be a huge program by now.
