Jeez. Maybe one day I will do the same thing with my computer. It is a compaq labtop with XP home edition. I have just my account but I could enable the guest account for hackers to try their luck. I have taken special measures to secure my computer from hackers and did research and tried to hack my own computer for the sake of testing my security. I think that only a hacker that is both supreme and has staked my computer out for a long time could hack my computer in a half hour. Yet, a couple years ago I had used an Apple with OS 9 I found ways to hack it when I used it for a long time. I also had a very hard time figurung out how I could protect my Apple further. I found no popular software for hacker protection for my Apple. All in all I think that if there was more than one Apple for every 20 windows machines Apple would be screwed.
