hubird, that's only because there are 2 macs to every 1000 pcs. it's not worth the hacker's efforts. if you get your way and everyone gets a mac then you'll start needing a firewall... 
as to the net, just get an old pc 500mhz-1ghz. you can probably get it for free if you try, and then it can be permanently connected to the net with no risk to your hard work. better yet, get a 350-400mhz g4 mac. i just sold one for $225. they work great and they're cheap.

thanks for your advice gary 
I haven't been working on any serious scope projects for a little while, really busy with the label and my other act, but will be weighing up the pros and cons of having the net connection later.
I want to have more than 1 pc networked (like 6 ideally
, so I guess i could run em all out of my switch, and not plugin the uplink. Then have a separate machine for net. but then - file transfer for upload. To be able to use an easy connection to the net, that is safe from viruses (across networks to) would be a dream. I guess there's always my pen drive ..
Cheers guys!

as long as you run OS9 and have AppleShare IP off there's nothing (I'm aware of) in the Mac OS that even could be hacked.On 2004-12-11 13:39, garyb wrote:

It's a conceptual difference to Windows and Unix derivates - you cannot simply 'hijack' or execute a system call.
Before the system responds to any request there's a lot of conventions to be followed - impossible to remain undetected.
Yes, it IS bulletproof. Nevertheless I'd appreciate any information to prove me wrong, honestly
