Hi David,

I've used Macs for years and haven't had a problem with them (yet).   
Right now, I'm using a 1.42 GHz Mac Mini with a 17 in Dell display.   
No problems.  Right next to it, I have my PC -- assembled of parts  
from Fry's Electronics;  3.2 GHz Pentium with the exact same Dell  
display.  Very noisy - on HF through 20m.  But it was cheap.  I use  
it for engineering work and avoid putting it on the net as I can.  I  
try to turn it off when I'm not using it.  I leave my Mac on all  
day... connected to a DSL port.

So far, so good.  And I concur on not 'contaminating' the Mac.  Also  
concur on cats, hi.

73,
