macs are safe (Score 1)

the recommendation was an old one. not a recent one. and, anyways, what is it with people trying to prove that macs can be hacked or infected? Any operating system has some kind of vulnerability or another. The real issue is whether the operating system in question was designed with security in mind, or did the company that produce it barely care until very recently and are trying their best to patch things over? I can't trust Microsoft to prioritize security over their other agendas. Macs are pretty much as safe as it gets for a casual user.
