Now, there are a few forums that I partake on that offer a paid membership, or premium membership's if you will, not sure if this forum software is able to do that.

If I'm not mistaken, the ad-hosting service itself is clean . . . the only problem you risk is IF you click on the ad to 'see more' . . . some of those (especially the ones with the biggest boobs) are viruses looking for a place to happen. No clickee, no trickee. But I could be mistaken. I thought I was mistaken once, but it turns out I was wrong about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe that you are right about the ad hosting service it's self is clean, but I believe that virus's can still get attached to ads somehow, again, I could be wrong, but I do know that pop up ads are some of the biggest carrier's of viruses.

A few cons are they tend to be heavy, get hot (aluminum body transfers heat), can't change the battery easily in the newer models, and the aluminium body will dent when dropped (but that's also a plus compared to a Windows laptop that will crack)....but I've used Mac Book Pros at home and for work for several years now, very happy with them overall..

martinfan5 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Desktops are slowly on their way out as well, I read that on the internet, so it must be true , I have no desire to own a desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
