I'm still waiting for Winn Schwartau's imminent "Electronic Pearl Harbor," a phrase which IIRC he coined in about 1991.
And, yes, I also am thinking of getting an iBook in the next year. I like the idea of OS X.
I recycled an old Mac today by giving it to a friend. He had been limping along with an old G3 tower with a very old and flickering Apple monitor, so I gave him a slightly newer G4 tower with a slightly newer Sony monitor. After I copied all his old files and email over, the very first new email he got was one from the Administrator at his ISP telling him email account had been cancelled due to an outdated profiile, and to "Click Here" to get the details. Of course he did, and thank goodness he wasn't on a PC. Nothing happened so he called me to complain that I must have been the one to screw up his email. I explained to him that he was the target of a worm (the "Click Here" target was a .scr file), but that he should be glad he was still using a Mac.
