When everything goes pop or stops working, just format and slap your image back on.
This will save hours and hours downloading and installing updates and performing scans, remember your computer will still go with over 30 infections on it. So don't fret.

It's not the link that is the problem Spence, just following that let's you view the material on the originating site, they would want us to go there I would expect. The issue is one of copying, verbatim, material off their site. Not a real biggy until someone who thinks you are plagiarising their news empire gets all snotty and decides to sue or have you shut down. ;)

You won't regret the move to Mac. OS X
It has the reliability, security and stability which Windows will probably never have and has features which Windows should already have.

I understand verbatim copying murray, but a link is not a verbatim copy. The original material was never copied at all apart from © 2004 NZCity, IRN - and as you said, the article was read off of their site. I still don't see the problem with that post or whatwisky was on about. It is a pointless argument for that post.

Yes it was, it was copied in its entirety from heading to copyright notice, and that was the concern raised.

Just the link would have been fine.

This issue has been raised so many times now, but a few still seem to have no understanding that they are placing others in breach by their actions.

There must be a reason that we don't all have Mac's.

Perhaps G_F could enlighten us.

How about because they are underpowered,overpriced and with limited software?
