FAO: Macintosh users (no Moz)

[Huggy bear]

hey

Can anyone suggest a good P2P program/network for Mac OSX for music, prefereably one which is good for rarities, and not just downloading the latest mainstream pop albums.

thanks

I'm thinking of going Macintosh for this reason alone. (i.e.) I'm told Macs aren't vunerable for some reason

Thanks.

A PC virus won't work on a Mac, because the operation system is totally different and most stand alone programs are incompatible between PC and Mac. There are very few viruses made for Macintosh computers because the Mac market is such a small market share of the home computer market, and the aim of most viri is to spread as quickly as possible to as many computers as possible. Hence, they target the most popular programs and platforms, like IE and Outlook Express. Also, most Mac users are professionals ... graphic designers, editors, architects etc. People with real jobs, and people who are willing to pay a lot more money for a good computer.

If that helps any ...

I have always used Mac computers--now using an eMac. I use Limewire---a lot of good music is available. No virus problems here.

The architecture of the its operating system also makes it a lot more difficult to write viruses. Windows is by its very nature a lot more vulnerable.

I needed this feedback as I'm just about to buy an emac.
