I didn't say that it was a Mac virus. The subject was passing viruses
from Mac to Windows. It can happen And the virus that my Mac Plus got
from a Windows Word macro certainly was a Mac virus. Luckily, I had a
huge 5MB HD at the time and all I had to do was throw away my startup
floppy.

Settle down! Consider your blood pressure! I didn't say anything about
the efficacy of Norton software on a Mac.
