Smug b*ggers like me check the RunRev Use-list via a Mac or a Linux box
so any viruses out there will just lie around on one's hard drive and do 
nothing
either interesting or harmful.

As Linux costs nothing and one can get hold of a second-hand PC for next 
to nothing
(street prices in Bulgaria currently running at: P3 = EUR25, 17" VDU = 
EUR25) it behooves
everyone (gosh; I've been longing for an excuse to use that awkward verb 
for ages)
to "rush out and buy one" for 2 very good reasons:

1. One can check one's e-mail without getting twitched to the eyeballs 
about viruses.

2. One prevents an old PC ending in a landfill and transmitting filthy 
pollution into the
atmosphere.

Probably a better bet than Aluminium Foil: mind you; one of these might 
be a good idea:

especially if you are suddenly hit with the urge to devolve into a 
potato . . .  )
