Touche.
It's a matter of volume, of course. Tyler said the Mac's only flaw
was its human users. This obviously isn't true, it's just my opinion
it would there would be far more updates required (perhaps on par
with Windows Update - I installed 14 new security patches yesterday
to my XP machine at work) if it had a majority market share.
