But to tout a system as having appeal because you can get a huge lot of free software, particularly when the vast majority of it is junk, is ridiculous and speaks a tremendous n�ivete regards computer systems.
Thinking your MAC is safe from security issues and viruses probably demonstrates a bit of it as well.
I think my MACs are perfectly safe from security issues and viruses. You can take a look at many of them here:

No computer is "perfectly safe". My Apple iMac 20" and PowerBook G3 systems running Mac OS X are well managed to minimize security risks and viruses, behind a security firewall and with proper user accounts limiting access to virus invasion. No virus attacks have been detected since May 24, 2001.
Not being argumentative but do you really mean that last statement? How does the attacker know that your machine is a MAC and therefore not to be bothered with?
