Re: Apple Computer sides with Satan

I thought OS X was based on Unix, which is pretty stable, but also is not that
secure, and I believe the "resistance to security breaches" is due mainly to the
fact that most hackers are targeting Windows system because 90% of the computers
out there are running them. If you're going to get "enjoyment" out of wrecking
computer systems, the more systems the merrier for you.
