As for the threat from a virus, it is correct that very few people write them for Macs and Linux machines however that goes back to the issue of software availability which is why many people have PCs rather then a Mac.

BTW, I never got a virus on my Commodore 64 or my Tandy 16 color computer!
No software issues with Mac, that excuse should be on snopes.

I hate to tell you but professionally speaking the software that I work on day in and day out does not exist to run on Mac platforms and if you load it up on one of the compatable platforms it just locks up. Something about using software that was written in the early 80's. It runs under the good old DOS prompt.

I have been a MAC girl for quite a few years now, and I don't plan on ever going back
