Quick question: how is MacOS X doing in the virus department? Since it is Unix 
based but also a popular desktop system, I would be interested to know if 
there are many virii for it. I know that Apple has made some changes to make 
it more user friendly, do any of these changes hurt the Unix permissions 
system enough to make it suceptable to virii?
