Story: There's no worm in your Apple - honest
Posted by: jbelkin (Monday 1 November 2004, 8:55 PM)
If someone can sit down on your machine to install it - why not just steal your HDD or your computer? Why not lock your front door? Why not live in a better neighborhood? Why not go to a better school so you make more money? Why not have smarter parents?
Danger - a meterorite could strike you while you're working at your Mac. So far, the affected and danger quotient seems to be about the same WORLDWIDE.
Yea, just like a PC where there about 780 critical alerts a month.
I know you're DESPERATE to puncture a hole in the whole happay world of Mac users bubble and be the first on the scene but we're all still merrily going on our way.
No worries.
