Unfortunately, changing the mindset of the Apple Mac warriors is nigh on impossible, they know macs are safe because >>> Apple says so . . .:doh:

Nah. I thought it was cute the way it was!

Personally, I think the main reason that most Mac users feel pretty safe is not because of what Apple may have told them but because they've been using Macs for years, even decades, without ever getting a virus, while all around them PCs have been going down with them every week. Breeds a (false) sense of security.

They're in the same category as those who don't make backups because they've never had a hard drive fail...

Some learn only by bitter experience.
