    You must have read it in a Mac book. I spent a couple of hours upgrading
    an old Thinkpad to W2K and Office/2000 .. I was on the internet for a
    couple of hours downloading the full set of service .. no problem with
    any virus activity .. but then I run in stealth mode behind a Linksys
    firewall. Let the battle begin.
