I don't believe that anyone DESERVES to get a virus.  There are
newbies (noobs) even to the intuitive Mac OS.  There are innocent
little grandmothers that got a Mac mini for Mothers Day.  Do they
deserve to get a virus because they didn't know not to install it?
Hmmm... I must have gotten my nerve touched too.
