[Elecraft] Gregory

Jim;

We don't have any virii on the Mac OS X, but there are a few trojans  
out. You really need to think twice before clicking on links (true for  
any platform).
It is highly recommended that you have "Open "safe" files after  
downloading" UNchecked in Safari preferences. Automatically running an  
unsafe downloaded file will eventually get you into trouble and  
compromise your system!
