[QUOTE="IamDeMan, post: 1550154, member: 557673"] OMG! You are like the only Mac user that I don't have to explain that too. Even after explaining to some fanatics that being a majority makes you a prime target, they still don't get it. If Mac and Windows ever flipped roles in the market, all the security BS would be flipped as well. Not many people spend time writing virus and scripts or look for weakness to exploit a platform that only a handful use. Hey I think I'll go exploits some flaw in Beos and have fun weeeeeeeeeeeee!
