That's the "I Love You" "virus"/worm/whatever.


I love it that I access the 'net with a Macintosh.

Heh, heh, heh...Why use anything less? Too many viruses floating around made the
choice easy for me. Graphics and educational resources also spurred my decision,
but that gap is closing fast.

Got a life? Get a Mac.

  What makes it neat is that Dave has MacNQC.  Its not quite as rich of a IDE
as RCXCC, but it's got most of RCXCC's functionality - best of all, I can run
it on my 400MHz G4 Mac by using the Keyspan dual USB to serial converter.
  Now if the guy who developed MacPIC would come back to earth (he disappeared
almost a year ago) life would be VERY good.  I can't get my PIC Start+ to work
on my Mac. :(  Then, I'd need to get a Stamp II IDE that runs native and
finally BASCOM AVR and SBASIC for my HC11 boards.
  Its tough being a robotic hobbyist with the Wintel hegemony in power.

IMO, YMMV,
DLC
