My 'Location' reads:
"North of the Highwood, South of the Red Deer, East of the Kananaskis, West of the Bow". That would be the Calgary area.
Davis made that same suggestion (re custom built). I'll be checking out a few local custom builders in the next few days. Thanks for the suggestion!

Tis true ... Macs aren't targeted anywhere near as much for viruses as PC's are, but as Macs become more popular, that will change. I understand it's already starting to happen. I've read recently that there are over twice as many Mac viruses out there, as there were only just a 6 months ago.
I may be a PC'er at heart, but I don't really hate Macs. It would be a real shame if those *&^%$#@! virus jerks made it as bad for Macs as they have made it for PC's.
