From the report:

"The second most common Web-based attack in 2008 was related to malicious Adobe® Acrobat® PDF activity,76 which accounted for 11 percent of Web-based attacks. Specifically, attempts to download
suspicious PDF documents were observed. This may indicate attempts by attackers to distribute malicious PDF content to victims via the Web. The attack is not directly related to any specific vulnerability, although
the contents of the malicious file would be designed to exploit an arbitrary vulnerability in an application that processes it, such as Adobe Acrobat Reader®. A successful attack could ultimately result in the
compromise of the integrity and security of an affected computer. This attack is assumed to be popular to due the common use and distribution of PDF documents on the Web. Also, browsers can be set up to automatically render a PDF document by default. Specific exploit activity related to malicious PDF files was observed in 2008."

I agree - not a bad kit for what it contains, but personally I think it's a little pricey.

I can't say I did exhaustive testing, but it worked fine on a couple of older laptops I tried it on.

Personally I have to agree with Excell - I am using Ubuntu with Crossover and now I find I'm using Windows apps less and less. Freeware alternatives such as GIMP and Open Office are as good as Photoshop and Microsoft Office for most users.

Ubuntu is making Linux about as easy to use as it gets - it will only get better with each iteration.

The Vantec under eSATA shows 57.6 transfer rate compared to 84.9 for the Kingwin - as to the Seagate limit, it's in the manual.

The speed controller ranges from 6-12 volts - good thought on the pics.
