couldn't have said it better myself...
before judging something, in this case the Mac, try it first before you judge it.
I used to be one of the people who thought it wasn't all that... till i tried it that is... now i haven't looked back since...

Problem is, unix was designed more than 30 years ago with security being a top issue. Any holes there were were probably fixed a LONG time ago.
People write viruses for windows not because of some misguided sense of ethics or because of the installed user base being larger... they do it because it's so friggin easy, mostly due to the idiotic integration of IE into the Windows.
Cheers.

You will NOT see cheap PCs running OS X. Apple's been very clear about that. And with the Mac Mini selling at $499, nicely loaded, and the eMac for not much more (with a monitor), the price difference is pretty small already.
Anyway, there will be HUGE road blocks to running OS X on any old box. There will be no pc bios, Mac's sure to have their own custom chips on the board, open firmware, etc. Remember, a CPU is not a motherboard, and you can bet Apple won't use an off-the shelf motherboard. They can't. Standard PC boards won't fit in most Apple products.
On the other hand, Apple has already said they would do nothing to stop windows programs from running on their hardware.

PAG Laptops, MAC na!
hehe... Once you go Mac, you won't look back. hehe... seriously, I use both pero nothing beats the Mac laptops when it comes to style.... style, style, style. Power is probably not at par with high end wintel laptops pero who cares. you can only use so much anyways.
and for the nth time, most files nowadays care mac and pc compatible so no worries.

damn, kay OTO, daming alam sa MAC!
Last night ko lang na discover and hotkey to refresh the web browser, Flower+R pala. Before last night, nasanay na ko sa Windows na F5 ang refresh. Sa Mac, volume control ang F5, hahaha.

To switch between browser windows without using the mouse, press 'command' (apple) and the button below 'esc' (forgot the symbol). To switch between applications without using the mouse, press 'command' and 'tab'. Very useful when the boss is coming and you don't want him to see that you've been logged on to tsikot.com the whole day, instead of doing work, hehehe.
Mas komportable pa rin ako sa OS 9.2 kesa OS X. Wala kasi sa OS X yung mga key shortcuts na gamit ko sa OS 9.2 eh, like when I set F1 to open MS Word, F3 to open iTunes and F12 to open IE.Last edited by Bogeyman; June 25th, 2005 at 01:03 AM.

bogeyman, the ALT+TAB (switch bwosers) from MS ang una kong pinag aralan sa OSX, hahaha.
Command ba tawag dun? Tawag ko dun FLOWER dahil sa Apple Switch Ad Parody.
hotkeys sa Mac is more efficient/faste than using mouse, hehehe.

As it is UNIX-based OS X is designed for a multiuser environments so there is already a hardwired "permissions" or "authority" scheme assigned to users. This is great especially with the kids who have a tendency to delete delete and delete stuff or install install or install whatever.
Windows NT originated from UNIX but slowly devolved to Windows XP. MS would've own'd the market if they were more technically motivated rather than market motivated.

I'm guessing Apple is allowing this because of their rumored resurrected "Red Book" will be integrated into OS X 10.5.
