Honestly, I don't think I've ever had a problem with either of these in
the 10+ years I've used computers. Maybe it's just been so long since
I've seen the blue screen that I've forgotten what it looks like.

And as for viruses, if you're smart enough, you won't get them. Not to
mention that probably the biggest reason that viruses are more of a
problem on PCs than Macs is simply because PCs are far more prevalent,
so viruses target them more. Even if Macs are inherently better
protected, people could still create viruses for them if they wanted to.
So trying to get everyone to convert to Macs only seems to hurt the case
of "we have no viruses." :)
