588715 2007-09-07 02:48:00 No one ever said OS X couldn't be hacked, its just not that easy to do. The security issue that most Mac users reference to revolves around malware and spyware/trojans etc. Of course if you have your confidential info stored in File Vault, no one is going to gain access to it. winmacguy (3367)

A hobby that would have about as much use as an 11,000RPM tacho on your dash. (apparently they look cool or something..):p
