Subject: Question about Mac OS X 10.4 Security

Mac's have always held the distinction of being more secure by, among other
things, not being a target.  -- Due to the lack of extensive use, virus and
mal ware writers have ignored taking the time to write virus for Macs.

Simple philosophy -  Why climb the wall , when you can walk through the
door.  

Windows is easier and more prolific, until that changes, we are not going to
see major attacks on the mac platform.
