| Posted: 25 Jun 2007 05:24 PM PDT My thoughts are: You have a 'computer' and you are using it on 'The Internet'. There is no such thing as a computer that is totally proof against hacking. The "problem" is not Microsoft. The problem is "people". Microsoft builds software down to a price: and so does Apple and everyone else. That's how they are selling more of it than they were... It is probably easier to break into an Apple OS X computer than it is to break into a Windows Vista computer. Nobody knows for sure: each of them contains millions of lines of computer code -- all written "at the lowest possible cost" or by "the cheapest outside contractor". It is true that various people have made a science of cracking Windows computers for the past 30 years. Historically, they have not bothered hacking Macs because there were not enough of them to be profitable. Macs used to be maybe one or two per cent of the computers in use. That is now climbing rapidly towards ten per cent. However, since the fall of the Soviet Union, large organisations with headquarters in St Petersburg, Russia and thought to have links to the Russian Mafia are involved in the game. They are hiring professional programmers, some of the smartest people on earth -- they once worked for the KGB, but now are unemployed, and they need to feed their families. The exploits that are being used today are much more threatening than in the past. These people are making money, not mischief. These people have all the resources of organised crime and terrorist organisations behind them. At what point do you suppose the bad guys will figure it is worth their while to make exploits to crack Macs? Ten per cent? Twelve? Fifteen? That's a guess, right? There is a reason why the CIA spends millions on its computers and we spend only a couple of thousand. What do you suppose the CIA is buying for its money? I suggest it's not the colour scheme they are interested in :-) Let's consider the Mac user base: more likely to have high income than PC users. More likely to be less interested in computers and how they work, and thus have little idea how to secure them. More likely to be able to afford broadband internet. More likely to invest large amounts of money. Do you see anything there that might be interesting to large and determined criminal organisations? Remember: We're not trying to defend ourselves against pimply youths who are bored and having fun. We are being attacked by large and powerful criminal conspiracies and malevolent nation-states: entities that have money, highly-skilled computer scientists, and great determination. On this Mac, I run a hardware firewall, a software firewall, an antivirus solution (two of them: one for Windows, one for Mac), an anti-spyware solution, and an anti-spam solution. All-up cost? Maybe 200 bucks. Worth it, to me -- so I sleep soundly at night :-) When I grew up on farm, my stepfather taught me "Good fences make good neighbours". I do what I can to make sure that my machine will not be compromised, and therefore, will not be a threat to yours.

Use "Remove Office" found in the Additional Tools folder inside Office 2004 (I'm assuming it's 2004 since you didn't mention what version). This will remove all files including invisible ones.

Create a new User in System Preferences to test.

If anyone tells you anything different than you read on that he webpage, they're making up stories :-) Unlike many large company websites, that one updates very frequently: any new announcement will appear there before it appears anywhere else -- that's where we get the information from!

| Posted: 17 Jun 2007 09:32 AM PDT The one you will usually notice most often is "Full Unicode Support". Office 2004 supports a far wider range of characters in each font than Office X. This is not a big issue if you do not send documents out from your computer, but it's very handy if you receive documents from the Windows world.

| Virtual PC attributes for Mac running intel. Posted: 15 Jun 2007 04:10 PM PDT Hi Dan: The product you seek is named "Windows" :-) Seriously, as Bob says, Windows will run just fine on your MacBook (I am running Vista on this MacBook, but I suggest you buy something cheaper: Windows 2000 was a very good year, and it should be available very cheaply...) When you get it, drop it into BootCamp. If you use it more often than occasionally, Consider installing Parallels so you can run it as a guest in Mac OS X. That's what I am doing, but you do have to pay for Parallels, BootCamp is free :-) It is important to install Bootcamp even if you are going to use Windows with Parallels. It contains Windows drivers for the various bits of Apple hardware your MacBook contains. For your purposes, I would immediately update Windows to IE7. Not only is it a much better browser than IE6, it is more capable of displaying picky websites also. I would *not* be tempted to put Safari for Windows into it, not until they get the bugs out of it, or you may find various bits of Windows stop working :-) Cheers On 16/6/07 8:40 AM, in article googlegroups.com, "biz" <biz> wrote: -- Don't wait for your answer, click here: http://www.word.mvps.org/ Please reply in the group.

| Posted: 12 Jun 2007 09:30 PM PDT Hi Jill: Sadly, that's a well-known side-effect of one of the nasty little utilities out there that offers to "save disk space on your Mac". It appears that the designer of said utility does not really understand modern software :-) As to your husband, well, that's what login passwords are for. :-) You tell him that you were reading up on "Security" on the Internet and <insert name of favourite expert> recommended strongly that you put a password on your computer, to prevent hackers getting in. What you would be saying is, in fact, true :-) If you put a password on the machine, he will have to ASK you for it each time he wants to fiddle. You can then ask him what he's going to do and how it will help YOU :-) If you don't understand the answer, tell him to try it on his machine, and let you know how well it works in six months and you will "consider" it :-) What's to prevent you using the startup disk from your husband's machine? So long as you have the correct licence key (the one for YOUR machine...) it should work fine... Actually, I don't think you even need a licence key for an Apple startup disk, do you?

| Posted: 12 Jun 2007 08:00 PM PDT Hi Chris: Those who know are not allowed to tell us. Those who tell us, don't know! That said, my guess is that Mac Office 2008 users will need to use SharePoint via a browser only. I doubt if there will be any integration at all: they will need to check things out in the browser, work on them, then upload and check them back in using the browser again. I hope I am wrong...

She was minutely examining every twitch of his eyebrows in the local Apple Store: He got away with only a single copy of CS-3, and even then, only because it was half the London price ...
