I have one and I WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK. It’s SOOOOOOOOOOOO much better for EVERYTHING ESPECIALLY online poker. I actually wrote and article about online poker on a Mac but never submitted it to any of the poker sites. I wonder if the Pros here wouldent mind posting it if they deem it worthy? Perhaps i’ll email RFB

 

See you online tonight bud 🙂

OK, but if you leave your keys inside your Bronco and someone steals it are you never going to own a Ford again?

Regardless of Operating system the user needs to take precautions in order to compute safely.

True but my point here is simple. If you want to feel safe and secure while doing anything online that involves MONEY, then do it on a safer platform then windows. Mac, Linux, iPhone etc.

I am sorry but the guy logging onto his wife’s account shoulda known better. If the security of his home network and computer was liable to malacious activity then he should not have logged onto the PC.

 

This article lists no details, no facts, just a story with no background detail. It does not list how his Mac is protected on his business network, how his wife’s computer is protected, what measures he has ensured that his mac is prestine as it may seem, and why he did not ensure that his wife’s PC was stable to log onto.

 

I have nothing against Mac or PC but give some details if you write an article like this.
