Thanks, Bill. I didn't see virus info at the Symantec site. I'd like to learn about the ones these people have had. I'll look there again. Meanwhile, another Mac weekly is starting up to fill that gap: May 22, 1998 For Immediate Release New Publishing Firm to Start Macintosh Weekly FALLBROOK, Calif. _ Digital Cactus, a start-up publishing firm, is announcing today that it will be entering the market with a weekly news publication dedicated to covering the Mac OS platform. The new publication, entitled The Mac Report, will be rolled out on June 24. "The Macintosh market needs a weekly publication that is dedicated to providing hard Mac news," said The Mac Report publisher and editor Lucas Roebuck. "Unfortunately, MacWeek is moving away from that space. We hope to pick up the slack." The 32-page publication will be rolled out in two phases. In the first phase, readers will be invited to subscribe for free to the publication, which will initially be available via a weekly fax, e-mail, HTML or downloadable PDF file. The second phase, which Digital Cactus hopes to unroll in six to eight months, is creating a print version of the newsweekly to mail to subscribers. Once again, the Mac Report is free to its subscribers. Those who wish to subscribe to the newsweekly can do so in several ways. The easiest is to point their browser to <http://www.macreport.com>, where readers can subscribe on-line. Users can also email their requests to <subscribe@macreport.com>. Readers need to specify how they want to receive The Mac Report: fax or email. Readers who do not have access to the Internet can call 760-723-5207 to subscribe. Press releases, news tips and story ideas should be sent to <news@macreport.com>. Those wishing to advertise in the Mac Report should call 760-723-5207 or email <erick@macreport.com>. Based in sunny, southern California, Digital Cactus, a media communications company, is dedicated to creating new and innovative ways of publishing information and entertainment. Its product line up includes The Mac Report, the Mac OS newsweekly, and will be launching <personally.com>, the digital magazine of personal culture and other focus publications in the next 6 months.
