Lewis, check this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwn2Own In 2008 the Macintosh took 2 minutes to hack, in 2009 it was 10 seconds and this year it was down to 5 seconds. I read somewhere that the Mac was hacked first "just to get it out of the way" so they could do some real hacking. I'm not saying Mac's are worse than Windows, just that they aren't the Fort Knox some people believe them to be. I use an authenticator now though after just about everyone (seemed like it) in my guild got hacked last year. I decided I didn't need to be a damn fool about it. I've never had my house broken into either, but that doesn't mean I don't lock my doors at night. Checkers Tauren Shaman - Cenarius
