there is that. still, over the last 15 years or so, I have seen a vastly higher number of windows machines infected by "defective users". repairing those installations was always a nightmare (especially when the user wanted to retain all data). in all that time, I saw, at most, a handful of macs with an issue involving malware. Now that the iOS and OS X platforms are starting to acquire a majority of the market, I expect there to be a lot more problems (and also see a greater number of those defective users).
anyway, the users are primarily responsible for their systems. if they can't handle it, the n they need to sell off the machine and start collecting books. until they do, I continue to make a small amount of money over their panic. -eric On Jul 28, 2012, at 2:56 AM, Florenz Kley wrote: > On 28 Jul 2012, at 00:03, Eric Oyen <eric.o...@gmail.com> wrote: >> (though there is a much smaller percentage of dumb mac users than > windows). > > Bollocks.
