Yes, though OSX (only one version) is not as bloaty as Vista (whichever
of the many different versions they offer), it still takes up some space.

Even better is that there still are no real viruses for Mac (you hear
rumors, but they never seem to transpire). I shudder to think the grief
I'd have with a PC open to the Internet.

The only bad thing is that with the popularity of the Mac OS in the
iPhone, there will be the kids trying to destroy it. Hopefully they can
keep their testosterone-fueled acts directed at Microsoft.
