Message	The OSX operating system is much less vulnerable to attacks due to the structure of the system. Although it's not impossible to write viruses for it, it's much more complicated, and as you mentioned, the target user base is much smaller. I do believe that anyone who bashes on Apple has never actually used a Mac. I've wasted years of my life waiting for PCs to boot, reboot, load nonsense, freeze, etc., especially when I haven't restarted my Macbook Pro or even shut it down in months. I've never had a problem with it. I'm sold, and I still find it hard to believe that PCs can still be in business with all their errors and flaws. Cheers, JBrobst
