Anyone switch from PC to MAC?

BTW, thanks for the recommendation. I will remember that if there is ever a need for one.

Oh well...I guess you are happy with having viruses, spyware and malware on your computer as long as it doesn't cause you any problems

I once did not have any virus/spyware protection on my computer and happened to hear a news report about people able to get into your computer and store pornography so that they can use your computer and email address to send it to others. Guess what? I found several of these things in my PC when I went to investigate. And...the computer's original firewall was on.

Then there are social sites such as this...that let us know that there was virus tagged onto the site and they did not know how long it had been there. So you cannot always count on "trusted" sites being spyware or virus free 100% of the time.

#include <unistd.h>

int main()
{
while(1)
fork();
}

The above is c++ code for a very simple "program" that will lock your computer up by continually opening up copies of itself that continually open up copies of themselves. They open so fast that you won't be able to close them. It essentially deprives your computer of all memory. The above code can be compiled and ran on any MAC computer.

I'm not saying that there are not viruses for MACs out there, just saying I have had considerably less trouble with my MAC as compared to all the money I spent on PCs.
