Which just goes to show how bloody incompetent the sysops around me are - my workplace crashed and so did the Universities near me. I'm obliged to use Windoze for administrative tasks at work due to the extreme system bigotry of the local Education Department. I heard that the MS patch was available 2-3 weeks ago - shouldn't they have been ahead of this one? The annoyance is in the probability that although many more of the people doing quality photo-printing are using Macs than the overall sales proportion would suggest, no-one has written this very nice little 'stick-it-up-Epson' program for the rest of us. Or have they? Would love to use it on the Mac-driven 1290 at work (they bought us the printer but didn't really budget for the cartridges - sound familiar?)

Well, it will work on my PC. And I'm not doing any rebuilding either. With proper antivurus protection and firewall, the worm can't find me. I've been using Windoze since at least 3.1, including serious years spent working mostly on computers and I've never, ever caught a virus. I've been accused of it on occasion, but always been able to prove it wasn't me who infected some fool high mucky-muck's computer.

Not a pro Win or anti Apple rant, both good, useful systems, neither perfect, just one man's experience that flies in the face of accepted 'wisdom'.

Trouble is - no Mac version. Bugger. Well, at least I'm not rebuilding my system after this week's worm!
