Old computer myths die hard. The mystique of the magic Apple Macintosh computer still runs deep in certain parts of our society. Because many people still don’t understand how computers work or what they even are, they are easily conned into believing Apple Macs are magical devices somehow immune to many of the ills that befall other, mere mortal computers.
The cold, hard truth is this: Apple Macs, along with iPhones and iPads, are just machines, mechanical and electronic devices full of circuit boards and components not much different than their lowly relatives spawned in Windows and Android factories. Are Apple devices well-made devices? Yes, but they still require due care and diligence in order for you, the end-user, to stay safe and out of trouble.
