Pay Attention, People!


OK, its April 1st, and the dreaded Windows virus "Conficker" is supposed to awaken.

The article on this story at CNN.com discusses the virus, and mentions that it only affects PC's running Windows, and doesn't affect the Macintosh.

However, the photograph that they choose to illustrate the article is a late-1990's Apple Power Macintosh G3 Desktop! I recognized the machine in the picture right away, because I have one, and its still in use as one of my home servers...

While I think its great that the media often uses images of Apple products in technology stories, it doesn't seem right when the story is about another Windows virus! ;-)
