[Coco] My email was hacked

Thats why I use Macs :-) While there ARE a few virsues out there for Mac, they are so rare compared to Windows viruses that it's almost non-existant.  Linux is another good one for avoiding virsuses.  Just figured I'd throw that out there.

I then got DSL which is wonderful speedwise, but I don't really download enough to warrant the expense, however, when I install something like Xilinx or Altera web editions, it comes in handy.
