It is difficult to have a reasonable discussion with someone who's view 
of reality is so far out of whack. It is even harder when you leap from 
one distortion to another unrelated distortion while insisting that they 
are somehow related and mutually supportive.

Apple is the 4th largest manufacturer of computers. They have a 14% 
market share, but that understimates the installed base because Macs last 
far longer than PCs. Apple has a 66% market share in the non-junk market 
segment.

If you want to relate this to crime it would make the most sense to look 
at market share numbers for a smaller population: those who own something 
worth stealing. Here Apple numbers would skew much higher. Busboys and 
the unemployed skew towards PCs. Doctors, lawyers, and the glitterati 
skew towards Macs.

To make your proposition relevant you would need to establish why 
criminals would prefer to attack computers owned by people who have 
little to steal instead of attacking those who are wealthy. Good luck 
trying to convince us of that.
