For information on current Apple Macintosh models go to http://www.apple.com

There are not nearly as many descructive programs written for that 
machine/operating system. Perhaps because there aren't as many of them, 
perhaps because there aren't as many people who hate Apple as hate 
Microsoft, perhaps because the OS has better security, perhaps because 
the moon doesn't effect Mac users as badly (hint - check the def of 
"lunatic").
