Allen: VMWare is a pretty neat piece of free software, mainly because it led to this:
The virtual machine was so virtual that I had a hard time transfering a mouse driver to the DOS box. I eventually tracked down an open-source program that creates ISO images from files on your hard drive and mounted it as a CD so the DOS box could see it. TOTALLY WORTH IT.

1/26/06 - Top 10 Reasons Why OS X Has No Viruses Yet
Allen: From Slashdot:
10) Ten million+ active boxes still "too small a number" to target.
9) Worlds virus writers all work at Valve; have no idea what the hell OS X is.
8) OS X originally scheduled to have virus this year; pushed back till Q2 next year to add Intel support and a Universal Binary.
7) Russian Mafia all actually use Macs, tell underlings to keep macs virus free so they don't have to run virus scanners.
6) Forget buffer overflows; real mechanism viruses use to spread is actually second mouse button.
5) No viruses released for sale on ITMS yet.
4) Actually viruses everywhere but Jobs Reality Distorition Field keeps Mac users thinking they are not there.
3) XCode secretly detects and transforms viruses into RSS readers instead at compile time; explains glut on Macs.
2) Virus writers accientally dragged virus into one of several hundred "Untitled Folders" on Desktop, now have no idea where it is.
1) Mac owners just too damn pretty for God to let them get viruses.
