I used to use paid antiviruses on various OSes (namely Windows) but then I discovered that Microsoft Security Essentials actually isn't that bad....I have no idea about Mac anymore tho....
It came with the computer..yes, it's free and it definitely works.  |

Ah, I might've accidentally confused you a bit there. I got a new laptop and I plan on waiting a while. We'll see what happens with the Mac lineup and prices. |

@Dan/Tony: How do you get the funds for pay for all of the sites which you run? I doubt the ads generate that much money... |

It's a mix of ads and personal investments.
Keep in mind that we have dedicated hardware that is shared among the different projects, and it's paid for in advance. It's cheaper to buy in bulk  |

If so, it's a shame that no school boards are funding any aspect of the site such as hosting, since there are many educational resources that the site provides. |

Well, school boards have no money (budget cuts cancelling CS classes as it is), and high school students don't spend money online...
We've got runway to keep going though. But if you have better ideas, feel free to PM me with suggestions. |
