Egaarrr! I knew this would raise it's ugly head again.... NO to APPLES!! True, MOST viruses don't affect Macs... know why? Because Macs just aren't compatible with most of the world.... that is why they only have about 15% of the PC market. You'll need all new software... all new everything!

Sorry Josh... just couldn't let that one pass.... ;-)

Radical alternative: get a Mac! Elegant operating system, great graphics, intuitive programs (even I can figure out how to use it). Best of all: those viruses that have been getting passed around don't infect Macs.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
