Macs were out before Windows. Its just windows can't get over the ancient operating system where as Macs update theirs every year and make their own computers too. I'd never use a PC or Windows again now I have an iMac G5!

I would have put it down to another ScoobyNet Myth, but it was on the news too!!

Maybe I don't realise it and my hard drive has actually been wiped
