    Just like the last responder, your analogy is stupid. You can't choose to make yourself immune to herpes. But you can choose an OS that is immune to viruses. Choose a crappy OS and suffer the consequences. Face it, you made a stupid choice.

    "Joswiak said it was traced to a particular Windows machine in the manufacturing lines of a contract manufacturer that builds the iPods for Apple." Go figure.
