Actually there might be more people that you would think.
I was about to write to AOPA and complain about the same thing.
It usually makes no difference, but if they hear it enough it
will put these issues on their radar.
The question is: Does AOPA care (about the minority that doesn't spew
viruses at everyone {8^) ?
I am, after all, an AOPA member.
Seriously: I spend a nontrivial amount of effort selling people on
non-viral-farm solutions. Thanks to Apple's OSX, this is actually quite
feasible for the nontechnical today.
So what is AOPA saying about safe computing (and never mind monocultures) if
they ignore us?
Nobody ever got fired for buying into microsoft, but maybe they
should have been.
