<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">My wife's MacBook suffered an unrecoverable hard drive crash last week. Fortunately, hard copies existed for all the critical material she had created since the last backup, so the loss was mostly a major nuisance rather than a major disaster. :)</p>

<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">It was Emory's computer, and it died right after graduation. Go figure.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">So she bought a new one (without all the cruft Emory insists on installing).</p>

<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Slashdot notes today the increase in malware aimed directly at OS X and that causes me to wonder what sort of anti-virus software should be installed on this laptop. (small MacBook Pro) Obviously it needs to be something that a non-geek is going to be able to use.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;"></p>
<p style="margin: 0px; text-indent: 0px;">Suggestions would be appreciated.</p>
