And so Apple is slowly being brought into the world of main stream computing.

This will only get worse as time goes on, for two reasons.

1. Apple is getting more popular for laptops and tablets. More use means a bigger target.

2. As has been said many times over, Apple users are, on average, less technically inclined than PC users. They CHOSE apple, many of them at least, on the sale point that "Apple is just plain easier" [smiley face]. That very grab also makes them easy targets for all the scams and other things that PC users have been dealing with for the past 15 years (or more).

It is not a good thing that this is happening, and I am not laying blame on Apple or their users, but the few that would point their fingers at PC users and laugh about virii and other problems are now starting to get a taste of the mainstream. Hopefully this makes it so that there is more of a meshing of the brands and uses, but more than likely not.
