Its a shame people try to take advantage of computer users who don't know any better.
As the Mac gets more popular, they'll become subject to these things, too. |

As the Mac gets more popular and takes some of the Windows' users the average proficiency level of the Mac userbase will also come down. It's not so much that Macs are idiot proofed, it's just that they haven't got as many idiots using Macs.
