I must admit, I like the idea of a mac for my next office PC, all it gets used for is media, the odd bit of excel and internet.

Oh, and Civilization, but if I am correct, that's one of the few games that is available on the mac.

:roll: mine is white - your point? :D


I am using both (ibook and a pc) and I love it that I dont have to care that much about firewall-, virus- etc. updates when working with my apple.

don't give your email out, and stop looking @ kiddy pron and you don't have to care that much for your PC either :wink:

psssh. one virus.

in the 3 years i've had my powerbook......10s of 100s of my friends and colleagues' computers have crashed due to viruses...mine? not even once.

In 5 years I have not had a problem that was caused by anyone else but me. Your point?

Lies all lies! :fist:

It is a simple Trojan Horse, not a virus: it requires manual user interaction to launch the executable. See the dissection http://www.ambrosiasw.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=102379
