Hi, just got my first Macbook for xmas. I'm exploring the system settings and noticed that the firewall is off. Why is this? Should it be on? I know Macs are immune from viruses, but what is the danger of leaving the firewall off? On a windows machine I know its foolish to not have one, but what about the Mac? Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

firewall off by default - is this okay?
