   So you don't think that having the largest target area (by far the most   
   users) has any influence as to what OS gets targeted the most frequently?   
      
   Since there are few to none Amiga exploits out in the wild today do you   
   attribute this to the "amazing security of the Amiga" or the possibility   
   that there aren't enough users to bother trying to exploit it?
