I agree that would be impressive, but if you read swordswallower's comments he acts like these types of things are impossible on a Mac. For the record I never said Windows was more secure than Mac, just that Mac isn't bullet proof.

No one here claims Mac is bulletproof. There have been enough security updates to show that it is not. We claim that it is tough to write viruses for it, and that none have been found in the wild. The only known success has been in duping a greedy idiot into manually installing destructive software. That's not exactly a virus, especially not of the type that is currently wreaking havoc with Windows machines.

As the person who maintains and pings the Mac Ping list, I have posted more information about the vulnerabilities and potential exploits of OS X than any other person on Freerepublic.

I challenge you to show where I have used the word "impossible" in reference to the topic at hand in ANY post of mine about the Macintosh.

It is your inability to read and comprehend what you read that leads you to your erroneous conclusions.

Finally, For-q, my Freeper name is "Swordmaker", thank you, not "Swordswallower".

I beginning to think you are a reincarnation of a previously banned person who used the same brand of ad hominem when he could not argue with facts. He also made specious demands for "bets" on areas he claimed expertise... for example he posted similar demands and called me the same name when I challenged his assertion "as an expert" that there was no iron in stainless steel. Incidentally, he got banned over that kind of activity.
