No platform was immune from any of the threats, even if they were floppy-disk based. Not even the likes of the Apple II platform. Infact, I remember reading an article in that platform's magazine whch described what would happen when one of those machines was overtaken by a boot-sector virus, including the unpredictable behaviour that would result. It now seems to me that people who work with the Apple Macintosh platform think that their platform is "virus-free". I always think that NO computing platform is free from any of the malware that is floating around and would still suggest making sure that there are proper steps to guard against this.
