Apple users: smug, stupid, or lightyears beyond any PC owner?

"I don't have it on my Macbook Pro. With a PC it's the first thing I install; but with the Mac I feel almost invulnerable."

"I have a mac and don't use anti-virus software - whats the point?"

"Nope, never put it on my mac and always think I should, but then think, there's no point... I've got time machine backing up all my important stuff"

Was God actually resting on the seventh day, or was he designing an Apple Mac?

My Ma is a Mac user and I have an old IMac I bought off eBay. I also use Vista XP and Ubtuntu. She says the Mac is easier to use but I think that's only because it's the one she's used to. Hard to say which is best - of all I prefer my lappy running Ubuntu.

I really don't care what people use be it Vista, OS X, Linux etc just as long as I don't have to listen about why theirs is the best and everyone else just sucks the monkey balls.

OS X user) you just start using it...

He probably was...

My iMac has been powered up since January I've not switched it off, just sleeping from time to time, still operating without any noticeable loss in performance. That's despite installing one update and countless internet usage, gordon bennett a PC would have frozen up by this time using IE on this site alone..

No antivirus installed here, I don't see any reason for it.

I don't care what flavour it is. They are all rubbish.

If I didn't get well paid for using it I'd bin the bloody thing.

Have used all of those and still use Mac and XP but the Mac is easier to use, more stable and faster.

But what if I'm not using either?
