I really wish some of you Mac fanatics would learn about computers and
especially the Mac before you speak. The dual G5 tower is called the
PowerMac, the PowerBook is called a PowerBook and the iMac is called
an iMac. In addition to adding cards and other additional I/O
capabilities, the PowerMac dual G5 tower has considerably more
processing power and speed than any other Mac. Look at the spec cards
at your Apple dealer or do a little online research before you make
yourself look silly.
There are an awful lot of posters at this site that are very sensitive
and quick to respond to any even slightly negative post about the Mac.
Could this be because the Mac has flaws that you are unwilling to
accept or that you just have such an intense hatred of PC clones that
you can't see straight when confronted with facts? The PC may be a
boring OS with its security flaws, but it "just works" faster with the
hardware capabilities of the average PC desktop or laptop for far less
money. That is fact from the experience of one who has been building,
installing and upgrading systems for years. I've also serviced and
upgraded Mac systems although I've not had the pleasure of building a
system. I wasn't interested back in the days when you could build
your own Mac clone. The OS wasn't developed enough then to be
interesting. OS X is a powerful piece of software that deserves
better hardware at a lower price so that more users will have the
chance to experience it.
Unfortunately, too many Mac fans are like Amiga fans, having tunnel
vision when it comes to their computer being the only one. Well, we
all know what happened to the Amiga. It appears that Apple is on the
verge of doing something with the Mac that could greatly expand the
user base and bring it into the mainstream, although, unfortunately,
it probably will take a long time to even challenge the size of the
Windows user base. I don't take pride in this. I'm not a gloating
Wintroll or Winroid as I've been called. The only thing that I'm
passionate about here is to get a better Mac hardware machine that is
capable of running and deserving of the software that is written for
it.
