  "but they don't get viruses!"

  None of us Mac users ever thought we were 100% immune to virus attacks and knew that several more attacks would be coming as Mac's picked up more shares of the market. So your point is what?? By the way thought thanks for the heads up I know now what to look for as well.

  His point is that the common belief is that they don't get viruses, which is no longer true. I'm not sure how you couldn't figure out what his point was.

  I know what is point is and I am disputing it, I never said Macs will never get virus's however for the past few years the reality of that was very nill hence mac users didn't need to worry. We knew times would change as I stated above. So what is your point here?

  And on top of all that I will stand by Macs are way better than PC's statement I have made before as well. No data, links, etc....just personal use. in 2 1/2 yrs of owning my macbook pro not a single damn problem, not one! With any PC I have ever owned within 2 1/2 yrs of ownership there were definitetly problems!</SPAN>

  Never had a problem with any sort of computer, but I do have AIDS. Does this mean that Steve Jobs gave me AIDS?

  You'd have to be pretty clueless nowadays to get a trojan virus regardless of the type of computer you have.
