Re: Silly Article
You make the same error as most Mac and other 'Nix users make. As the 'Nix based market segment grows so will the the viral and trojan and worm attacks grow with it. Always remember what the Rodeo Cowboys say: There ain't a horse that can't be rode, there ain't a cowboy that can't be throwed. Applies to operating systems, also. All operating systems are pretty crappy. The challenge is in finding the operating system with the lowest 'crap' factor for the task at hand. Sometimes it is 'Nix, sometimes Windows, sometimes DOS, sometimes something else..
