yes you are correct, mac os x is a excellant os, but let everyone else keep using the flawed windows os. because if everyone switches, then these dam hackers will focus on viruss for unix based os. the reason why there are no threats to mac os x is not that they can not be made, but the 2-3 % of computer users using unix compared to windows is not worth the "BANG FOR THE BUCK" to the hackers. If they put out a virus for unix it does not even come close to the impact as it does with windows due to the VERY SMALL amount of people running it. SO WE KNOW WE ARE MUCH BETTER OF WITH MAC OS'S , and we do not have to deal with the "blues screens of dealth", so the heck with everyone else, let them worry about backing up everyday, so they will have their back up copy when they need to reformatt and load windows on average 2 x's per year. It is so nice not have to shut down and reboot all the time, WE JUST LOVE IT, WE CAN JUST WORK!!
