Viruses are written to defile a platform which is viable to business
and widely used. Apple computers, are not so widely used in most
areas, so no need to defile them. Hence, less viral attacks. :o)
As far as your PC being outdated, think again. None of mine are
even close to being as powerful as yours. My fastest PC is 350 MHz.
Does everything I need it to do, and then some. I have half the memory,
half the hard drive and only a CD burner. You can get twice as good
a PC for $500-$700 complete, so why fight it. :o)
