    I have never had a virus on my mac iBook ether but my Sony laptop
 has had nothing but problems with them and I am going to trash it,
 the only reason I got it was for traveling as it has a PC card slot
 for a cell modem but with wi-fi the iBook will get me by until I get
 a titanium that has both.
   Microshit sucks big ones and so does Bill Gates.

I could not and would not run this newsletter if I had to deal with viruses.
I get sometimes 200 email messages a day. Many of them are attempts
at sending me
a Microsoft Windows viruses.  My email address is on over 1500 computers world
wide. You have no idea :)

   Another thing that everyone needs to do is to push there local
airport management to install wi-fi if they don't have it.
  Many airports I have been to have it from ether the port or from the
FBO and it makes it nice to pop up weather file flight plans and to
pickup your email.
  Soon it will be the norm and all airports will have it.
