Zip slowly, medical statistics show that over 100,000 people are
injured annually by their clothing.

Not if you use linux.:-)

The only thing worse than the millions of Windows user that are unaware of
the need to protect their computers from attack on the internet, are the
millions of Linux users that believe they're imune from attack on the
internet because they're running Linux.....

Fair enough. I should keep my comments to myself. But since we are on the
subject, I have used Linux for nine years and never ONCE been affected by a
virus or suffered an attack from an uninvited user. I do not have adware
on my computer, nor do I have to reboot every time I install a piece of
software. I literally can do anything on my Linux laptop that I could do
running Windows - I know, I tried going back to Windows a couple of times
recently on my laptop just to maintain compatibility with work. A week
later I went back to Linux. It costs less because I don't have to pay for
nagware that is useful and it runs faster and cleaner by far.

Linux is inherently safer than Windows. Much safer. Not totally immune but
effectively so in my opinion and experience.

Cheers.
Real World OS choice for everyone:
Five free versions of Linux on bootable CD Roms that work [nearly]
perfectly on my computers and I still choose Windows as my 'production'
OS....
