Let's keep this in perspective...NOTHING is immune to viruses. It is true that you don't see many MAC (or anyother *nix) viruses, but that is due to windoze being so widespread. Bigger target and all that.

I have always been impressed with how MACs handle graphics. They are good graphic workstations. As for speed, stability, etc.....yes MACs do have this going for them, but that is because they have a very limited range of software & Hardware that it will run (or run on as the case may be).

I recommend you stay away from the intel based MaCs for now. wait until the platform matures some. You will save yourself a lot of headaches.

Go Linux!
