In a swedish Magazine, there is a full-page ad of a father and his son sitting
with a laptop and smiling. It's a powerbook titanium.

The ad says with big letters: "The way to go Securely" and talks about about
offering a safer web experience with regards to viruses.

So far so good - that's what a Powerbook, does. But the ad isn't from Apple,
nor is it for powerbooks or even Macs. It isn't for virus protection software
for the Mac nor is it about virus protections software for the PC. No, it's an
ad for...

....AMD processors!

It's an ad for the AMD 64 AthlonTM that has "Enhanced Virus Protection". This had me laughing for a LONG time. I'll post a picture if anyone is interested.

:cool:

definitely interested. what does it matter if the processor has virus protection , the mac os takes care of it for us. where as a pc, even with that processor, will get all the viruses.
