Stick with the other 90% of the worlds population and go with the PC.

You want the guy to buy a cash register?

90% of the world would be over 6 billion people..So you are saying there are over a Billion Mac users. Who Knew?

Anyhow I better stop because the mac zealots are going to come after me.

Why would they come after you, is there a bounty? You are slightly more entertaining than pulling wings of flies, and about as useful.

How can someone be a troll in a conversation about Macs and PC?

Anyhow, im going to let all of you have the last word. Ive got to go buy stock in a virus protection company. I hear they are about to see a big increase in anti virus software purchases by millions of Mac users.

My point several years ago was that a serious hacker would not spend time to infect 25 or 30 computers.

You mean 25 or 30 million computers, and that was several years ago when there was still no successful mac malware. This really is the first, happening afer 50 million.

now, the number of mac's have become respectable, the low level hackers have attacked them...and when the "big boys" take aim, they will take out all macs

The "big boys" were targeting Macs back in the 90s, and were mildly successful. Of course, back then it was a completely different OS that didn't even have protected memory.

Computers have become a commodity.

No, PCs have become a commodity, and that's why the margins are razor thin. Apple has taken a different route.
