I was really hoping the title said Emacs and this would be some kind of battle royale about Vi and Emacs.

A thread involving Vi would be deleted as soon as I saw it.

Buy a $300 laptop from frys or best buy on their weekend deals, and install Mac on it.

It's not that simple. Long story short the OS might "refuse" your components.

um my mom watches russian tv shows on websites filled with malaware etc. for at least 2 years now and never had issues. Just setup the basics

- firefox (or any non ie browser that can run addons) + no script/adblock plus with good filter lists
- msse on with auto updates and force quarantine on any detects (DONT LET THEM HAVE THE OPTION TO SAY ALLOW!)
- recheck your settings under browser to make sure no script runs without an authorization
- make sure to update flash, java whenever theres an update to avoid obvious exploits


That's pretty much it, the vast majority of viruses are targetted at people with little to no computer knowledge with no protection so you're good to go with basic defense.

If you want to go the extra step, partition the drive so its easy to format without losing everything.
