How come I've never gotten a virus on my Macbook but lots on pcs
why would an intruder let you know he was there?

you can get all of that fixed at the Apple store for a $250 (before tax) flat rate

Ummm... no one thinks this.
Many, many people do. And is it any wonder why?

Justin Long said they don't get viruses


And Apple's website said they don't get viruses:

My wife got her Mac in 2010, battery didn't explode but swole up to the point it broke the mouse pad. Curious what the failure rate is with that issue.
It could happen to any laptop, but it probably happens more often when the manufacturer puts form above function.

When you go to coffee shops around any university, and see the shear number of Macs in use it is obvious what the main platform of the future will be.

Yeah, I noticed. Another way to say that is "Macs can't run all your favorite PC software". The only reason to put something like that on your website, and to have Justin Long say it in TV ads, is to convince the ignorant that Macs don't get viruses. And it worked very well.

Way more Mac users post on the OT than the Tech Board. That is why I put it there.
