I have equal access to both a Mac (OS 9 for now, X sooooon) and a PC (Win2K at work and home), and I use both for most things, but I've always stuck with the Mac for email. While at first it was because I wanted to stick to one platform to ease email archiving and keeping up anti-spam rulesets, lately (and even more very lately) I love using the mac for email because I have so much less to worry about on the email virus front.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you all about the 'SirCam' virus that's been bouncing around this week, but I just love getting a couple dozen random files from people and freely opening them up in BBEdit to see what's inside, without worrying about falling victim to the same malady.

Security through OS obscurity?
