Is this what they mean by "speaking in tongues"?

This is obviously a fraud. I've learned on Mac threads there are no security holes in Mac OS.

Macs are immune from hacking.

This is not possible. Only Microsoft products have security issues. Ask any Applebot and they will tell you that Apple is perfect, Microsoft is evil.

Apple is ahead of Microsoft. The latter's security updates as are always, scheduled for the second Thursday of the month.

With MS security issues are the gift that keeps on giving, and giving and giving.

Nope, only that Apple suits my needs better than Microsoft, and with less trouble every step of the way.

Does this include OS10.3.9? I downloaded a update a couple of days ago.

You know, Rodney, I'm not gay either, and I own six Macs... and three PCs. Nor are several of my business's clients who own upwards of 20 Macs that keep their businesses running (and NONE of them are artists, musicians, or print shops!).

I also have some clients who ARE Gay... and only one owns a Mac; the rest own PCs.

So, Rodney, I give you permission to go ahead and buy that Mac you've secretly been drooling over in the hundreds of threads you've posted that comment in... you don't have to change your sexual orientation.

Use the Software Update... it will only download and update those things that are needed by your OS version.
