As for album art, I perfer Media Player and with the click of one button I get what I want, never had to add anything for something that basic. I do make changes, but not because I have to to make the program work.
How is adding album art in Media Player different from iTunes?
Shove the "straw man" statement, try and actually come up with a reply to a comment.
Stop using straw mans and I'll stop calling them.
I have yet to meet any semi computer savvy Mac user who doesn't think PC users are clueless just because we don't bow to the mighty Mac.
And how would you know if you had? An ambivalent savvy user wouldn't shove anything on you. You're creating a whole line of arguments against people that exist in your brain and not here.
I have half a dozen family members that think if I just tried it that it would be like the gates of heaven have opened and I would throw out all PC items.
Yes, fanatics exist. I'm not sure how that's relevant to our discussion.
I recall some statement about someone making ONE piece of actual malware?
Yep. Actual. Not potential malware, not a single rumored occurrence, but a widespread infestation.
Stop changing the question, you asked for a source about market share,
Nope. Read it again.

The major reason Mac's are not targeted by viruses is because they make up such a small portion of the market,
Source?
I was asking for a source for the entire statement I quoted, not just the last half. That's why I quoted the entire statement, not just the last half.
Look at the amount of lawsuits Wal-Mart has to put up with, my cousin has a chain of local grocery stores and he has yet to be sued for anything. Take any sport, when a particular athlete stands taller than the rest he or she is the one everyone goes after, same goes for a team that wins the championship. When you want to cause the most mayhem, why go for only 5% or 6% of the market? If your trying to set up a DoS, why would you not want to go for the biggest target and get the most computers working for you?
By this logic, the ONLY people that would EVER get sued/picked on are the biggest. In reality, there are plenty of lawsuits to go around, but the biggest get hit the most.
This seems to be you trying to rationalize your previous statement. Like I said before, you can believe it if you want to, but I'd rather rely on proof of something rather than believing whatever supports my preconceived notions.
As for your dad, still not buying it,
...okay...
my son is 7 and he can use power point and make things work. Cut, paste, write, clip art, save, link with Word docs, but then again I guess it's not Excel. I'm sure there are people who have a hard time using the basic functions of programs, I know a few, but to have something you've used for so long and not be able to understand what only amounts to the next chapter in the manual, not buying it.
Wait...you're telling me that someone that has grown up with technology is good with it?!? Shocking!
My only point is that people like this DO exist, even if you're so far removed that you don't deal with them regularly, or if their existence counters some preconceived notions of yours.
And no matter how awfull you think those adds were, they leaned on them pretty hard and now they are gone.
You're going to have to make your point here more clear. Are you suggesting that Windows 7 "shut up" Apple? Ad campaigns come and go, I'm not sure why you find this surprising. When Progressive stops airing ads with "Flo," are we going to assuming it's because Geico delivered some sort of crushing blow?
If it hadn't been for the iPod & iPhone, apple would be sucking wind, yes that is my opinion, computer wise they don't sell squat (see link in pervious post). Just because they opened a new market does not mean they will be on top forever, HTC and Motorola are building some slick phones themselves these days.
The iPhone appears to be approximately 50% of Apple's capitalization. I'm not sure how you define "sucking wind," but they wouldn't be on the verge of collapse, if that's what you're implying. They were doing fine before the iPhone, they're just doing that much better now.
And I'm curious as to what market you think Apple opened...they weren't the first smartphone, the first touch screen phone, or the first phone/music/video playing combo. What did they do?
