Sorry you dont like my post but i dont give a ****.
Ooooerrrr... got out of bed the wrong side this morning did we...? I didn't say I didn't like your post, I said I wasn't sure what your point was. I really don't think there's any need - nor do you have the right - to reply to me in this manner. People are allowed to challenge posts and threads on here, as I did, and you show considerable immaturity in your response. I didn't expect that from you.
The risk is not from virus's or worms but hackers being able to gain access to your mac through open ports or causing Dos attacks on your system, hackers run port probing programms and barrage ping your system, Macs are as vulnerable as PC's for this.
I quite agree, nowhere near as widespread though eh.
The post is to show dont believe everything you read about Leopard being bullet proof, they have made mistakes with the firewall which didnt exist in Tiger if you have sensitive data on your system these problems affect you.
I don't believe everything I read about whatever I read about and am old enough, and mature enough (
see above reference to immaturity) to evaluate what I read and thus form my own opinion thank you.
The time of "I run a mac so it doesnt matter" are getting less applicable, viruses and worms are the least of problems these days.
Again, I agree... but this is a concern for Mac owners that is very recent, and hasn't been around for 10 years. I have both a Mac and a PC, and love and use them both.
Hmmm... you really have a thing going on here re Mac v's PC's don't you... perhaps talking to someone, or even professional counseling may help.
Personally I always run a hardware firewall, and on a mac system, Little snitch and Net Barrier.
Well jolly good for you you clever person you, well done, aren't you clever...

Thanks for those interesting points mho. I have read them, evaluated them, and having considered your opinion, have formed my own opinion of you and have disregarded them as coming from someone with an issue, attitude, and who ought to show signs of maturity in response.
You are one of those users who seem to always want to turn any Mac question this into a Mac v's PC debate, of which I know the OP (i.e.
me) had no intention. Now, the thread is about 'Anyone upgraded yet'... not about Mac v's PC's - so let's get back on topic eh. If the tp team sees fit to remove my post so be it, at least you are likely to have read it and thus will have seen my response.
tMM reaches for the 'Ignore' button, and 'Report Post' button.
Have a good day.
