Wow.
I have two iMacs and I thought I was cool.
I have this G3 that I am typing on right now. I also have an original BONDI blue imac that is currently unplugged. I NEVER have virus/adware/worm issues with the Macs.
HOWEVER, my daughter was desperate for a PC so we bought a Dell last fall. Had to re-install the OS 4 complete times. Just getting on the internet caused us to acquire so many computer diseases the whole thing was non-functional.
Dell's reps are all outsourced to India or Pakistan or even Mexico, so good luck trying to explain something in vernacular American to these guys whose English is good but unintelligible.
I HATE PC's.
...because the hacker kiddies don't bother writing their toys for systems that make up a tiny fraction of the computers on the internet.

Odd, I've been on computer networks with PCs for decades, and I've never once had that problem.
But if Macs were the dominant system on the internet, then *they'd* be the target of the hackers.

Why? It's not the PC's fault.
I have Macs laying around here. My Dad sends email every morning and evening to all of us on the list. Many email him back. We like to stay in touch, but he doesn't use it for anything else.
To make a long story shorter, we went to Sams, and bought an HP for $550 with a 17' CRT. That was two weeks ago. I set it up on returning back the the AFRH.
I got an email yesterday, telling me that a guy had finally come by to help him fix what was not working. It wasn't hardware problems...
It kept misplacing things , Pop said.
I'll keep my Macs. Pop can use anything I take him. But, he's stuck with his Windoze... because it was "familiar".
Tthe funny thing is that my brother advised me to buy a Mac in the first place... in 1984... because I didn't want to bother learning all that c> crap, and didn't want to go to school for a month to learn AutoCad!!! Of course, now AutoCad is a degree program, and us Mac users have Jaguars and other fast cats...
