I am tired of Mac users acking as if everyone who doesn't use a Mac is some type of inferior creature. Mac users are zealots about Macs (I've never met one who wasn't). They're desperate for converts because they want to create new business for Mac -- that's how fearful they are of Mac going belly up.

Suppose the "security thru obscurity" logic is true- that there are so few Mac viruses now because there are so "few" Macs to target.
Why then would any Mac user want to recruit anyone else? Just to increase their chances of catching a virus?
Me, I don't care. If Windows is good enough for you, then have at it.

I think I first heard that in 1994? Although I'm sure people have been saying it longer than that. Here is an example from 1997, I'm way too lazy to look for more, but just to show you how long people have been saying that:
1997 - BusinessWeek: APPLE IS LOOKING MIGHTY LONELY - http://www.businessweek.com/1997/05/b351227.htm
Anyway, have you looked at Apple's earning statements recently? Last time I checked every quarter this year was about twice (or more) over the year before. A lot of that is the ipod which is bringing them money hand over foot, but I wouldn't say they are exactly hurting at least for the near future.

Hey, aren't you the guy that came up with "Republicans want to cut Social Security, so old people will starve" line?
