Hi All;

This more of a professional curiosity than anything else but I’m wondering about what types of computers everyone is using.

What type computer do you use Windows or Mac?
Do you practice Safe Hex (i.e. keep your system patched; use anti-virus, anti-spyware and personal firewall software)?
Do you make regular backups of important files?
What is your preferred web browser?
Has your computer ever been compromised by malware (viruses, spyware, etc.)That’s it for now.
