But Amos -

At least the malware writers have started to notice the Macs now!!!

Apple released 12 patches for OS-X about a month ago. As far as I could tell, they were pretty much the same as ones Windows was patching a year or so ago. Some buffer overrun vulnerabilities and such were identified (vaguely). But Apple hasn't released any descriptions of what they decided to patch, since they want people to keep thinking they're invulnerable.

You're safe if nobody notices you. You should be pushing the notion that only "starving artists" use Macs, so the criminals won't start trying to mug ya'.
