I don't think that's particularly new actually.

What that PC's suffer from viruses or this one in particular? If the latter then it was only flagged up on Jan 27th.

I'll join you in the smug mode Rog though it has to be said that the IMacPro keypad is cr@p for long spells of touch typing...a proper full sized keyboard is much better. Just means I'll have to get a proper Jobs machine later on with a decent keyboard :mrgreen: - Rob

Hi,

If you lot keep banging on how good Macs are they will sell more, and the hackers will turn there attention on them, then you will be up a certain creek without a propulsion device :wink:

Hmmm, the article is long on fear and short on facts and by a computer security company. I smell a seriously over blown story about a threat that may or may not affect a tiny percentage of people.

Are Linux-on-Intel people allowed to be smug too?

Nope, only Linux-on-Alpha people are allowed to be smug and only then if they have compiled their own kernel. Linux-on-Intel allows you a slightly smug and knowing grin once a fortnight when your down the pub and have had one too many.

Sorry, them's the rules... :-D

I had Linux running on a iMac G3, (power pc), but eventually new software made demands it couldn't fulfil.

Nice machine, in its day.
