exactly if we all used macs, the mac os would be just as attacked as windows. I mean it's not like unix or linux based systems ever get attack right? https://forums.windrivers.com/images.../2005/03/1.gifQuote:

Mac zealots must constantly remind everyone of the supposed superiority of their machines. Short man's syndrome comes to mind.Quote:

One thing is for sure,.. I'm glad there are so many problems out there. It's just job security for me.
Yeah you take it off ! :thumbs2:Quote:

very nice ed... but how do you rip vinyl? There is no line in.... no mic so no voice messaging or calling... and you cannot add these functions unless you take up a valuable usb port (it only has 2).
500 bucks for yesterdays technology without the attachments that actually make it work? does not really impress me. I can get a complete windows machine, thats faster with a monitor for less than that.Quote:

& ain't you never heard of a usb hub ? :p
Oh good gravy ! ... now you've got me defending Mac ownership ! .. how did that happen !? :D .. (must fight urge to argue ! MUST ! :eek2: ) ..Quote:

And Yes Windows is on 95% of desktops out there so a virus wirter will impact more people by writing a virus to work under Windows
If you have an admin account and a user account on your Windows machine you have more security
Log in as user to just enjoy your machine, Log in as admin to tweak your machine
Thi is how a Linux box is set up
I know many comercial Windows machined are set up this way
Just my twenty cents :)
Dream on... just as many that use linux login as root....Quote:
