Buy a Mac. Don't start that. I have been a Mac user for well over 15 years and I have had my share of viruses. Not many, but enough to be annoyed by them. And now that the Mac uses Unix, they are now even more of a target.

Save your energy. Mac users are zealots. They are insecure that they are out of step with the rest of the world, so they cover it with that elitist attitude. Not surprising that Mac users tend to be liberal! :)

I've been a Mac for about the same length of time and have never had a virus. Not sure what you are picking up.

Don't start that. I have been a Mac user for well over 15 years and I have had my share of viruses. Not many, but enough to be annoyed by them. More than 20,000 recorded viruses for the wintel environment vs less than 100 for mac... Ill take your annoyance over putting my helpdesk on suicide watch any day?

Interesting, do you have anything to back that up with?

I have been a Mac user for well over 15 years and I have had my share of viruses. Somehow I cannot believe that. I have only seen one mac virus and it was on someone else's machine 10 years ago.

Don't think so. Now they are even more secure.
