Good idea.  If enough people do that, they may actually become popular enough that the hackers
and virus writers will go to the trouble of writing stuff that attacks them.  That would divert
attention from the Windows machines.  Macs are not inherently harder to hack or write a virus
for.  They just exist in much smaller numbers, so most of the bad guys don't bother.
