    So the reason it seems secure is no one cares to exploit it, or could it be the reason it hasn't been exploited is because its secure. I am very unclear on your logic.

    Hmmm, so you concede one area where the Mac is better. Wow, I imagine there would be many more concessions if you knew a little bit about the Mac.

    Name one thing...

    1. Transparency (Alpha channels) at the OS level. Not only does it make the OS prettier, but it makes it more usable. But really it isn't better since Windows doesn't support Alpha channel transparency at the OS level.

    2. A Unix shell

    3. I haven't had a virus since 1993 (I had a hypercard stack virus on my old Powerbook 100. The only one I have ever had)
