54. The new Mac comes with 256MB
I think the main reason virus writers target Windows is that it's so easy to do massive devastation to a Windows machine. Try reformatting the boot volume (not *a* boot volume, but the one you brought the machine up from) on a Windows machine and on any Mac. You can do it on a Windows box; you can't do it on a Mac.

And you can even do it through a script file! Oh joy! Why in FUCK would you need a script to reformat a hard drive?

I don't know about y'all, but if I was a hacker I would target Microsoft machines even if MS had three percent marketshare--I'd only hit three out of 100, but those three people are gonna be really, really pissed.
