I live in Minnesota, so I have Comcast. I guess I haven't checked out if they have a free anti-virus program, tho since I'm not the name on the internet bill, they might not give it to me for free anyway. Edit: I restored it to last Tuesday, but my system is still recognizing it as the Cypress whatever. I'm also considering buying a new computer, and am strongly thinking about making the leap to a Mac. I have two big questions about it. First, assuming I can get this external HD working again, I'd still be able to connect to a Mac and access my MP3s, correct? Second, do I remember right that the current Mac OS has a feature where you are able to run Windows programs in a Windows environment? Thanks.
