But, but .... Macs don't get viruses.

Luv it.... What are all these fanatical Mac loyalists going to do when their Apples get the big bite from a virus? Do they have access to the many scanners PC users have, or is it HD nuke time? All the licensed Apple shops are rubbing their hands together anticipating the flood of repair orders.

I glanced through a cnet article that had user comments on this. It mostly dwindled down to a semantics discussion about the differences between a trojan and a virus. (ie the open user comments not exactly the article itself - you know how you can post comments on articles on cnet?)

Imagine that!!!!!!!!

The perfect little secure machines owned by the fanboys......

Ended up being PwNd!!!!

LMFAO!!!!!

They just do not realize, or understand, that there is such a low % of them (fanboys) compared to PC/Windows users, they are usually not worth the effort to hack!!!

Oh wait!!!!

I guess someone decided thy might be worth the effort!

Should i write something to hack 600,000 MAC users, or 600 billion pc/windows users ????

EEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!
LOL!!!
