      <outline text="What gives the Mac its &quot;Soul&quot;">
        <outline text="As several people pointed out, and may not have made completely clear, it is the tight integration of hardware and software that creates the user experience we all love."/>
        <outline text="It is THAT user experience that creates the connection that becomes the &quot;soul&quot; of the Mac."/>
        <outline text="Also with PCs and Windows the machine is just that, a machine. Often that machine is a hinderance, something to be &quot;dealt&quot; with. It is tool and people often equate using a PC as work."/>
        <outline text="Macs are enabling. The technology (hardware and software) is designed in a way that helps us get stuff done. The Mac feels more like an equal participant in the task. This is why it feels so personal. It is what makes Macs fun to use."/>
        <outline text="PC owners work on their machines. Mac owners, work,but more importantly we use Mac to explore, play and create."/>
      </outline>
      <outline text="Are Macs no longer safe?">
        <outline text="All the security and vulnerability talk in the news lately is overblown"/>
        <outline text="Macs are inherently more secure because of the OS handles user accounts. User rights are separate from &quot;root,&quot; or &quot;administrator,&quot; rights, which helps limit the damage a hacker might do to a system."/>
        <outline text="I agree with Dvorak this time. These reports are good for Mac owners. We can be pro-active about security."
