At home I use Zonealarm firewall, but Tuesday a new windows patch came thru and I can't get online at home. Just found out it's cause of the patch and zonealarm won't let me got online now. Anybody know of another free firewall or how to to fix my problem? :'(

I'd turn off Zone Alarm for a day or so. They'll come out with a patch soon. They'll have to to keep their user base happy.

Get a Mac. No need for firewalls. Seriously, Windows XP and Vista come with firewalls. Sometimes if you have the Windows firewall, and another firewall ( Zonealarm ) running at the same time, they stop a lot of stuff that shouldn't be stopped. I'd check settings for both firewalls. Make sure both aren't running, and the one that is running isn't set too high ( too restrictive ).

On a Mac, the firewall is off by default. The only time I turn it on is when I travel or use it outside of work or home.

Macs have firewalls, and I would not be so brazen to say you'd never need one with one...That being said, it's a better computing experience with a Mac, but then again I am partial to them, having used them for the past 21 years in some form or another and professionally for the last 14+.

I am a technical support person, and I used to work with print and advertising. Macs are very popular with audio and video too. Right now, I work in education, and Macs seem to be popular there as well. I do have XP installed (phone systems don't work with Mac OS), and I also use Fedora Core 9. I still haven't found anything that I would want to replace the Mac OS for my own use, but if I did, I would.

Engineering and Industry runs on the PC. Doing CADD and CAM since the mid 70's, it was always an IBM world. It still is. You go buy a $2 mil. CNC punch press or welding robot and can program it from a cheap PC.
But the publishing world has always been Mac. Mac first removed the need for publishers to know any computer science & they ate it up. Now people are pushing us into Mac oriented software run on the PC because they want to believe that drafting is more a matter of publishing than anything else. Fortunately they killed AutoCAD for the Mac a decade ago. UNFORTUNATELY they also killed AutoCAD for the Unix platform & we are stuck running this damnable Windows nonsense. |

I hear ya Cadd. Audio Analysts (where I work) is a Mac house throughout the company...except our drafting department. AutoCADD and Revit. All PC based. I run AutoCADD on the PC side of my Mac. We also run Vectraworks on the Macs, but as long as we're interfacing with architects and General Contractors, we will always need AutoCADD.

Why is it fortunate that they killed AutoCAD for the Mac? Mac OS is Unix based now. Try running 32 gb of RAM with Windows XP... :) The new Macs are Intel based, so you can run just about everything on them anymore.
