The Enemy is Microsoft. Well, I don't think so...I haven't owned a Mac in years, but I feel absolutely no rivalry. Rachel, then you are with the Enemy. The Enemy is Microsoft.

I do keep up with your blog, I just rarely have much to contribute to the topic. It wasn't my intention to imply you were clueless, I know you can hold your own.<br/><br/>Have I ever mentioned how confused I was before I figured out which person you meant by "Sailor Boy?" ;-) I’m doing just peachy, Diana Peterfreund.

How are you, James? How have you been? <br/><br/>I'm not saying immunity, I'm just saying I didn't do anything that the virus needed to have done in order to work.

I’m not saying immunity, I’m just saying I didn’t do anything that the virus needed to have done in order to work.

I need to collect on the warranty for mine, it's come down with the flu (its display tends to turn green, probably a loose cable inside). ;-)<br/><br/>Don't believe the zealots when they preach immunity to viruses--MacOS X is popular enough now that the age of innocence is over. The good news is as long as your user isn't set up as an administrator, a virus' wrath can often be limited to just your account and not the entire system. The safest route is awareness, rather than fear or a false sense of security (be it through PR or antivirus software).<br/><br/>I definitely recommend the external hard drive route. It's a great option for inexpensive and reliable storage. Some come with software that performs full automatic backups at the touch of a button. Best of luck with the laptop, Diana.

I learned to love it in Sarasota, Florida, at this really incredible sushi restaurant where they basically teach you why it's a big deal. Still waiting for another experience like that one.

I've been busy doing... well, YOU know what I've been doing. And watching ice skating. <br/><br/>So, Lynne, we just all stay with you in Hawaii? I've seen the sushi train joints in Australia and NZ, but never here. I bet EKM will tell us they've got them in NYC, though. <br/><br/>Okay, now i'm definitely craving...

Caro, email? Are you sure it was me? Am I losing it? Entirely possible. Strange things happen to me without a computer…

Elaine, we’re on for Sushi then, in ATL. I know exactly what you mean!

Marley, there IS jus the one so far. I’ve been busy doing… well, YOU know what I’ve been doing. And watching ice skating.

Okay, now i’m definitely craving…
