same with a PC, its called temporary internet files, they can still propagate themselves across the whole hard drive, that right there is a noob statement, hell viruses can propagate across LANs, WANs, and GANs, why not a hard drive
I know PC's can, but it is the way OSX does it, it refuses access to system files from any emails.

Mac's can't do anything? I'll tell you what, the Mac's have sooooo many really good pieces of software (graphics are one of it's biggest), and on top of that it CAN run Windows programs (mind you most people who own a Mac don't)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thats funny because no one uses "pcs can run Mac software" (which they can through an emulator) as an arguement for why PCs are better, lol because PCs have more software
that's because PC's can't run Mac software, there aren't any emulators for it.
I'm using "Macs can use PC software too" to say Macs are more capable

I'm gonna tell you this, there are a lot of people who prefer Mac software, My dad's friend Aiden is one, and I would love to be able to use Itunes and some of their graphics software on my PC but noooo, that's not possible on a PC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
there are more people that prefer PC software over Mac software
that's only because there are less Mac users, if there were the same amount of both users, the numbers of people who perefer Mac software would prolly be higher than the people who prefer Windows progs

what do you mean how is it possible to own more software? I mean if somebody on a Windows computer might have 10 pieces of software, somebody with a Mac might have 20 or 25 now tell me it isn't possible
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i didnt say it wasnt possible, i just said why do you think that someone with a computer that has less software available and the software that is available is more expensive would have more software than someone that owns a computer that has more software availble for less? its basically like saying "more people own 2004 dodge vipers (more expensive, less available) than 2000 hondas (cheaper more widely availble) it just doenst make sense
that wasn't my argument, you said this exactly: "how is it possible to own more software for a mac than a pc?"
i think that speaks for itself.

now, the statement "I looked at a PC and it crashed" was an EXAMPLE, JUST READ IT!!! I said "any idiot could have made up a story like that" then i put it in as an example. now who is immature? not me!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
no definately now its you
you couldn't win that particular argument so you try and throw in an insult "oh gee, I think Ill call you immature for making a point" I think that is itself immature.

totally not true, lol, i just built the computer you see below (- the hard drives and cd-roms) for $640 USD, there is no way you could get a Mac with comprable specs for the same price, ok, say i paid $100 and $150 for the hard drives and another $100 for the CD-Roms thats still under $1000, no way in hell could you get a Mac like that for the same price, wont happen
you aren't comparing everything, what about getting a DUAL 64 bit processor, or a mobo that can hold 8GB RAM? those are the biggest things!
and if there are no viruses for OSX, why then would mcafee make a virus scan product for it?
I don't know, why don't you ask Mcaffe?
