Macintosh Quotations

Many think that the Macintosh operating system is impervious to viruses or these kind of security threats. It is not that they are impervious; they are targeted less.

The worst mistake Macintosh users could make would be to become complacent in their security practices deluding themselves into thinking that the Mac OS has no vulnerabilities. It does. More will be found and more exploits will appear.

We've had several conversations with Apple. We'd like to develop for the Macintosh and we're thinking throughout how to do that.

I'm not going to say Macintosh is as inherently buggy as Windows was about five years ago. But the holiday is over.

The bad news is that most people think the situation is going to get worse for Macintosh users, and more threats will be targeted against the Apple community. The good news is that most don't believe it will ever be as big a problem as the one Microsoft Windows faces. What's perhaps surprising is that there is a hardcore element of 21% who believe that threat attempts against Mac users will not grow.

Macintosh felt like a system. As I learned more, I felt like I was able to guess how new things would work. I felt like the bugs in my programs were more my bugs and not things I misunderstood.

I think the Macintosh proves that everyone can have a bitmapped display.

My first Macintosh was a 128k machine which I upgraded to 512k the minute it became possible.

These different firmware environments will separate OS X and Windows environments almost as effectively as instruction set architecture did when Macintosh software ran only on PowerPC chips.

Ross Perot came and visited Apple several times and visited the Macintosh factory. Ross was a systems thinker.
