Is it true that Apple computers never crash or get viruses?

I've heard that Macintosh computers can't get viruses and they never crash. Does anyone know differently from personal experience?

It's been several years since a virus has been written for a Mac. Comparing the amount of viruses written for Macs and for PCs is like comparing a puddle to the Pacific Ocean.

Macs are much less prone to crash than PCs. Macs have filesystem that is not affected by fragmentation, and the user interface is much cleaner and easier to use.

So it's mostly true...:-)

Mac is a small target for virus writers; they mostly go after the PC machines.

Some of the early versions of Mac were a bit glitchy, but the code now is well thought out and written better. PC OS is developed quickly and rushed to market and the code is full of security holes...hense more prone to viruses and hacking.
that is a common myth, but yes, they can get viruses and spyware. pc has more functionality and programs, so most people use it instead. in fact, a lot of people usually burst out in laughter when they see that something is mac compatible
macs can get virus and crash its just that there less likly to because most computer viruses are desinged for pc and not mac.
