From Chris James
A pity Davidson didn’t mention another similarity between biological and
computer systems—the benefits of genetic diversity. The near-universality
of Microsoft software makes life very easy for the PC virus writer/hacker.
I use Eudora to handle my e-mail, and it does not reside on my C drive. It’s
difficult to prove, but I reckon these two little differences from the norm have
probably saved me, and those in my address book, from a number of
“infections”.
