How long have you been using a Mac?

Since I enter in the university to study graphic design. For me it was very a contrary way to work, cause all my life I worked on PC's. But now I know the difference of the two computers, and a MAC is for me (... and I guess also all graphic designers ) the best manner to work.

What's the farthest/strangest place you brought it with you?

Every night I bring my MAC BOOK PRO with me at the bar. It help me to search and find all the inspiration I need every single days. 

Usually mac users think they are exempt from spyware. Do you feel safe about it? 

I just try to do my best to not enter in "marginal" websites... If you understand what I mean ....

have you ever happened to lose datas cause of spyware or virus? 

Yes, but fortunately I make every week back-ups ! 

do you protect your Mac?

Yes, with a pink anti-shock shell cover :)
