Couple of things to consider folks:
1. The past is no guarantee of the future.
2. There was a time (and I'm old enough to remember it) when PCs didn't
get viri either.
3. Humility is an honorable trait....keeps you out of trouble.

As for the Mac's track record, no argument as I have never owned one.
Worked on one at work once (IIe no less!) and it was a nightmare! Two
versions of Basic, flaky hardware and SLOW as smoke even then.... See, I
told you I was old enough.

May you always be free of viri....but if it's true, I'm betting it won't
last.
