Oh yeah - see this! Seriously...

There were 3 days worth of comments on the subject article after Rusty posted, most pro-Mac. The bottom line for me was this comment - varieties of malware floating around to affect Windows - 236,000. Varieties affecting Macs - 7. I've never had a virus, can't remember when I had a crash. Occasionally my e-mail program freezes (Microsoft Entourage), & occasionally Firefox quits unexpectedly, but it always asks if I want to restore the previous session. I use it instead of Safari (Apple's own product) because it has a built-in spell checker, & I can't type worth a darn. Indeed I am happy using Mac OS X. | |||

There's no doubt that Macs are more resistant to intrusions than Windoze-based machines. However, IMHO, because Apple has gone to Intel-based machines, the likelihood of hacks will become more frequent. Lke those of us using Windoze, the need for more vigilance for Mac users is increasing.\ I'll pass on what I find on my usually-travelled GeekSites...
