Isn't the statement of NOT hackable a little too strong? Everything is hackable. Most "crackers" don't try to crack Macs because of its 5% market share. I'll give you, that if a pre-OSX mac is going to be hacked, the exploit more than likely will be a weakness in a Microsoft product, and not a Mac issue, but NOT hackable? Everything is hackable. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
