the thing about macs is the reason there arent many virus's for them is cause only 6% of the computing population uses them so its not really worth the hackers time to create them for macs, however the virus's for macs are way more destructive and harder to fix than virus's for pc's, so if you are a mac user and get a virus you are pretty well boned while pc users generally will lose no data if they are somewhat computer literate and recognize it in time.

If I remember right I've seen a thread about this before, I'm almost positive it turns off the dome lights, meaning you can open the door without the dome light coming on. The map lights still work, and the dimmer switch can still turn them on. Just the doors won't activate them.

My good friend is a police officer. His Crown Vic has this feature. Basically he flips a switch and the car goes dark. No lights at all including brake, dash, dome, etc, etc. Completely dark.

Good for sneaking up on the bad guys.

Ford has only designed new gauges for the Mustang. We're only hoping that they update the software for the F150 as well - in particular the EB so we can have a boost gauge on the LCD screen.

What's your problem exactly? You want to use a PC, fine. I don't tell you that you're a sheep who doesn't have enough originality to buy something different from 95% of the population, do I? That might hurt your feelings, and it would be mean.

So what brings out this mean streak in you? Be nice.

As for your information about Mac viruses, I don't know who your sources are, but as a Mac user constantly since 1984 (always without anti-virus software) I have yet to encounter ANY virus... and believe me... I go to the sites that would have them!
