People say that Macs don't get viruses because there is such a small user base that any virus written for OS X wouldn't affect nearly as many people and it would be more difficult to spread effectively.

Personally I like my Mac. It's a 12" Powerbook with a 1.33 GHz PowerPC processor, the battery lasts 4-5 hours, and as I mentioned earlier, I got it lightly used for a VERY good price from a member here. Newer Intel Macs aren't as appealing to me because you can get the same basic setup for less than half the cost by going out and buying any Intel based PC off the shelf and installing your favorite flavor of Linux.

But anyway....congrats to the OP on your (almost maybe) new laptop that you got for a decent price.
