<VV> AntiVirus No real reward in hacking a Mac - no headlines ! (some Corvair)

[Charles Lee]

Someday there may be enough Macs around to attract the attention of hackers, 
but right now there aren't enough to make it worth their while.

If they hacked them ALL, it wouldn't be the headline that 20 % of PCs would 
"score" them !

Drive a car no one wants, and you don't have to worry about someone stealing 
it !

Back when, I had so many Corvairs stolen that my insurance company was going 
to list me as a "dealer" !  I got most of them back with broken windows and 
slashed tops (to get into them), so I began leaving them open and  they 
never stole another one !

I guess it was the challenge ?

No real reward in hacking a Mac - no headlines !

Charlie
