Yes, I know MAC's are slick, and don't use software from the devil incarnate -- BG. I also realize that there are some app's where the MAC works far better than a Windows machine. But I don't use those app's. Problem is the app's I do use just aren't available for MAC.If I had a MAC, I'd have to run a Windows emulator on top of the OS.

As far as virus protection, I'm running Firefox and Thunderbird, which at the moment are immune to all of the attacks on IE and OE. Of course, Firefox now has a double digit share of the market, so the attacks will come. MAC's won't have that problem.
