About two years ago some one wrote a virus for a Mac to prove just how vulnerable they really are. And the virus was able to do it's thing. Just saying don't get lulled into a false sense of security.
I never said they couldn't get viruses, im just saying that their aren't really any out there.

Yea I remember hearing about that virus, went through MP3s mostly IIRC in 2004. I think thats the one and only that has been written.
I don't really agree that software is limited for Mac, big brands like photoshop and office are available for Mac. Smaller programs possibly, BUT I assure you that their is a Mac-equivalent to that program.
Having said that, a mac isn't for everyone. Everyone is different and looks for different things in computers. Rather than reading specs, go play with the computers.
