   Nice attempt at word and intent twisting, but it won't fly.   
      
   Sony is the one blaming Apple for the lack of iPodability.  Obviously their   
   CD's work in the Mac itself fine.   
      
   MY contention is simply that Mac users (who tend to brag an awful lot IMO)   
   are NOT 100% free of viruses or viral/software threats.  They are simply   
   less likely to get them due to their far smaller user numbers.  For trolls   
   and hackers that would be like yelling in an empty room.  Not enough   
   attention.
