jonny has a thing for ladyboys.. or maybe it's the other way around.. but nonetheless there will be some interesting stories to come out of this trip.
Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.

The biggest reason viruses are less of a threat to Mac users is the same for Linux, Firefox, and Opera users really - not because it's necessarily less prone to exploits - but because it's so significantly less popular. Exploits try to hit the largest amount of people by attacking the most popular OS and applications.
I really only have 3 issues with Macs:
1) Price / performance. As Red and Beavis can attest, with computers (and cars) I'm all about cost-efficiency. Best bang for buck. Macs are more expensive.
2) Gaming / application compatibility. This again, is mostly just because Apple has such a small percentage of the market share. I know there's emulation and "virtualization" but it's not perfected and uses up more resources than running it natively.
3) Lack of customization. If I wanted to pick out specific parts to put in my PC, I could do it one at a time through NewEgg.com or whatever. Or I could go to IBuyPower.com or whatever and customize it to my liking. Not so with Macs - none of that!
