Of course, as Macs regain their popularity, I can see more viruses
being written for them.

based within the graphic-design and CAD industry's requirement for their
much higher display resolution. Today the PC can match the Mac's display
resolution. Couple that with the much wider choice of software (and
resulting lower cost) and, IMHO, Apple have a difficult if not
impossible task in catch-up.

Its all in the numbers. What percentage do you think apples
have in comparison of the nrs of PC's arund the world.
And that begs the question what virus creator is gonna waste
time creating virus' that will affect. By the same token
LINUX is the supreme choice OS to avoid virus'. Virus makers
go for the big nrs. I'm lucky in that no virus of any kind
cant infect my Commodore128 (here again its not the nrs that
count) its the OS itself cant be touched its all in R O M
not R A M.

Its all in the nrs as I said before, the one true way to avoid them
is to use a computer that has its OS in ROM chips rather than
RAM such as the PC's do. Its still in the nrs. Virus creaters
want to hit the whole world in the face, not a 3% of them!!

As for software, I am under the impression that Intel Macs can run
Windows (and presumably DOS) software natively so they'd have the same
variety available.

they're doing is making just another IBM PC clone. And god knows - there

Is there a Mac user lurking that could clear this up?
