Internet security seems to be a bit of a problem lately. Banks and such getting hacked is not good. Either the hackers are getting better or some security people ain't getting the job done. I figure some of both. Add in that hackers seem to be doing things in groups, finding a hole is not as hard to do. I think that is also one reason Linux is as secure as it is. There are lots of people looking at source code so finding problems are happening all the time. I also think Linux folks jump on problems and get them fixed quicker too. I guess Adobe is going to be a weak spot for a good long while. That's not good for Linux, M$ or Macs either I guess. Dale :-) :-)
