Ok I feel dumb

[Carl Parrish]

Tom that's not true. 
I'm sure there are many more hackers out there making up viruses for OE
but Evo and NC doesn't have access to the OS like OE does it dosen't
have scripting access to other applications and if you're running it on
Linux the simple act of the securtiy by users makes it a lot less likely
that anything that did get thought would crash the entire machine. I'm
starting to wonder if you work for M$. <wg>
