Yawn yawn yawn (again!)
Yet another Worm utilises a hole in Windows to wreak havoc on the world. Same old story as ever. Why do people put up with this crap??
Don't get me wrong I do use an Apple Mac & love it but I don't think that the answer is for everyone to switch from Windows to Macs or to Linux either. Apple themselves issued a security patch this week for OS X the difference though is that nobody hates Mac OS X enough to try and destroy it!
The other crucial difference is that half the world isn't reliant on Apple technology they are reliant on Microsofts. So when there is a vulnerability in Microsofts technology the vast majority of the world is affected!
The only viable solution is for individuals & organisations to move away from what is termed the 'Microsoft Mono Culture' & to embrace open standards across a variety of platforms. So my message is this : use Mac OS X, use Linux, use UNIX, use Solaris, use ZETA hey even use Amiga OS4 if it floats your boat. But whatever you do don't rely on a single system.
What is it they say about putting all your eggs in one basket? One day they will all be smashed to pieces :p

FUJI Z1 Goodness
The camera arrived today and I have just taken a couple of quick snaps with it to try it out. I am pretty pleased with the results and can't believe how small it actually is. I'm sure it didn't seem so small in the shop!
Qudos to Dabs.com as well for their quick delivery, ordered Friday evening arrived the following Tuesday morning. The memory card also arrived (I got that off eBay). My only complaint would be that the memory cards are very expensive!
