Patricia, what you said is what I said. ... (see below)
Mac's will read some PC files (I give PC graphic files to PowerMac users all
the time, including Photoshop, Illustrator, etc).

You are very right, that these viruses won't affect Macs, nor will they
affect a Linux box. They are written for the Windows operating system. I
have heard that some fiends are starting to write viruses for Macs.
Hopefully that won't happen.

I will remain a Windows lover until Microsoft gets completely out of hand
and invades my system too much.
