thinking of a new computer

[trilinearmipmap]

I was thinking of switching to an Apple because they seem to have fewer issues with security when connected to the internet, can anyone comment on this. I am not so confident with my Windows machine hooked up by ADSL, anyone can snoop onto my machine, get my confidential bank account information, etc.

they got fewer issues as the mac users are a very small persentage on internet users so the script kiddies don't waist there time writing virisus for them as much.

BUT you pay a lot more for the same thing, you have the advantage of not being able to run the software you like cuz no one wrot it in mac language.

I was looking in to Mac's also and decided that the lack of software choices and paying almost 1.5X the price for the equal computer was to much for me.

If you have your antivirius software and a firewall set up properly you don't get virius.
