You are so full of crap. Unless you can quantify that retarded statement of yours, stfu and crawl in a hole. You haven't the slightest clue as to what constitutes a quality A/V program.

Mac's are not immune to viruses, keep that in mind. If apple continues to make inroads in the desktop market they soon could become a profitable OS to exploit as well.
I am aware of this. I have yet to run into one and don't know anybody who has but I know the potential is there, especially with the Intel chips and running Windows on board. They are slowly creeping into a bigger market share. I just bought my first Intel iMac and I am having a little trepidation about it. We'll see how it goes.
It's not so much the operating system these days that you have to worry about, more so browser plugins, adobe acrobat etc. They create all sorts of holes.
What size/spec of I-Mac did you get? I am holding out until the 25'th to see what the mythical Apple tablet is going to cost.
It is a second hand eBay 20" 2 Gig dual core. Just testing the waters. Been avoiding them since inception. I avoid plug-ins but I wasn't aware of problems with acrobat. Do tell!
I am presently running a G5 1.8 dual processor tower. Great for Halo.
A friend of mine just bought one of the new 24" models, I was pretty impressed with what I saw.

A dual G5 is still a pretty powerful machine, I would think. What's the RAM acapicity on it?
I bought a Cannon Rebel DSLR today, trying to reacquaint my self with photoshop and learn adobe lightroom :-?
I am only running 2 gigs of RAM but I think it will hold 8.The Rebel looks like the kind of camera I would like to have. Been out of photography since my Pentax died a few years back. I love Photoshop. Have spent hundreds of hours creating images and painting my ink drawings.
Like Durka said later in the thread, they target "holes" in various add-ons that people download/install rather than Windows itself(or even the A/V programs). Say I install a new version of Music Box(not real, just so you know;-)). That new version could have a security flaw in it that could cause someone to gain access to my computer, or introduce a virus onto my computer via that particular update. That is why you'll sometimes see an update to a program even though they had just made one a few days earlier. The "bad guys" are always looking for new ways to get onto people's computers.8O
Zan, did you end up picking up any of the free programs I suggested to you a little while back?:smile:
