If the percentage of Macs in the world was equal to the percentage of Windoze PCs, there would be far more malware and other evils of the interwebs attacking them. They re not immune!

Either way, Macs are currently the safer choice: security through obscurity.

If you REALLY want secure, run Mac OS 8.

"[i]Ah, the old "invisible residue" theory. If there's anything to it, how come your chains don't last longer than they do for the guys who use WD40? How come nobody who subscribes to it can even tell us how long their chains last? How come the grease in my pores doesn't help when I pull my... Never mind[/i]."  Because EVERY bike out there has a different rider who rides different terrain and soil on a different horsepower bike in a different riding style with different right wrist habits who believes in different preventative maintenance levels or does not do it or all.  It's odd that you rarely see this statement in this vaporized horse discussion. That said, I use WD on  dirt to drive moisture from the bikes after rain or wash. I lube the street chain once a week with Spectro because there is little grit to attract and I run the off road chain dry because up here in the trails that are more mud than dry I have found my chains APPEAR to last longer without it than with it. If I lube the off road chain, it's not for lube, it's for rust prevention. I wipe as much of it off as I can after, as I do the side links on the streeter to keep things pretty. WHY would WD be bad for a chain? Anyone want to guess what the best solvent I have in my arsenal of cleaners is for getting dried chain boogers from the streeter's wheels, mechanicals and fairing is? You got it, WD. Only thing quicker is gas, but WD leaves a beautiful finish that makes me ride faster and attract more sidewalk lizards. Of course, that does add a step to the process, I have to still get out a gas soaked rag for my huffing habits. In a prior life as a carwash slave (they claimed they paid me) we went through cases of the stuff.... It [i]Displaced Water [/i]from the machinery and was an excellent way to wipe down all the stainless stuff to keep it pretty. Did it on every shift because it evaporated relatively quick..  On an off note, after firing old russian surplus ammo through my Mosin-Nagant and using Windex to neutralize the corrosive residue, I use WD to drive the moisture out FOLLOWED BY A REAL LUBRICANT. Using WD on the many metal-to-metal surfaces in that rifle, and especially my ARs, leave a very dry and gritty feeling action even before any firing blasts and burns it away. Did you get the "gritty feeling action" part? You might as well lube with water, it might even be thicker. Oh wait, it is because water doesn't penetrate! I guess bottom line is that it has its uses in a shop, but not as a permanent lubricant. The stuff evaporates quicker than a dry fart in a wind tunnel. If it stayed, why would I be able to use it to mount grips and as a better bead lube for mounting tires than soap?  Because of the quick evaporation, it's not even a good protectorant once you've [i]Displaced[/i] the[i] Water.[/i] As a penetrant? USELESS compared to more modern brews such as Kroil, PB Blaster and Knock 'er Up.... err... Loose. The empty cans do make a nice hearty BOOM! in the bonfire though. As for the Wanking lubricant, well... ahh... err.... You do know some of us bikers have discovered a higher maintenance machine called "woman" right? Easier on the hands, but like all good toys, hard on the wallet.
