I can't believe some of the things I've heard following this thread.  I
have been getting stuff off this NET since virtually day 1.  I've had
my Amiga since Dec '85 and started FTP'ing as soon as I found out such
a thing existed.  I have gotten all the comp.binaries stuff as well as
a lot of anonymous FTP stuff from Berkeley to Purdue to Finland.  Not
once have I even seen a virus.  I have run everything my machine would
handle at least once, so I am not merely lucky.  This Net has got to
be the safest way to get virus free n{oftware there is.  Who is going
to post something with a virus that can be traced, with relative ease,
back to them?  Why would anyo7{e deprive themselves of the great stuff
here just because someone didn't want to release their source.  Talk
about paranoia.  Sheesh!!!!!!!
Cheers, Dave
