Actually, as a GS and Amiga owner, I'll tell you: The amiga suffers from over 100 different viruses. In fact, my virus checker has personally KILLED four different ones in the two weeks I've owned the computer. So I guess that kills that idea. I'd worry, folks, fellow GS owners...the more popular hard drives are on the GS (How can you even USE a GS without one? Don't answer that Nagendra) the more popular viruses will be. So watch it, and keep up the II support! > -- > Jawaid Bazyar | Blondes in big black cars look better wearing > Senior/Computer Engineering | their dark sunglasses at night.
