I've been arguing with mac nuts for 10 years right here on FR.

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

...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.....

...if an OS can be built, it can be hacked.....and the more of them in use, the bigger target they make....

Do you get paid for that? I guess you could be an evangelist with a mission to save computer souls from the evils of Mac. But ten years is a lot of time to devote to mindlessly arguing with an unrepentant group of Job's devotes, who really don't respond to your gospel.

Pearls before swine, you know.

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.
