re: An agenda?
This is not directed at you personally but, WHERE THE HELL DO PEOPLE get the idea that just because it's not in the lime-lite of hackers that it's ok for now b/s????

The Mac Operating System has been around almost as long as the Windows operating system. Yet for some reason, the MAC OS has: Less Spyware/Adware programs, and about 5% of all the computer viruses out there with the other 90%+ belonging and owning to windows.

Now don't take this the wrong way or anything, but what does that tell you? That well, i think the good people at Macintosh are just much better programmers. You can whine an complain that "Oh no one, or very few people use MAC" well they haver been out there as long as Windows has, and they do have virus's and some very small amount of spyware.

In time to come, Firefox will get that proven too..

""Oh yes, I've heard it a million times. "Firefox just isn't targeted yet" If that's the case, so what? This argument doesn't make sense anyway because it is obvious that ActiveX controls are the primary security problem with web browsers and it isn't an issue with Firefox. Firefox also has an advantage in that it isn't tied to the operating system. That in itself helps to make an application less of a risk.
