You guys see the benchmarks? The Mac Book Pro Core Duo 1.83GHz is

between a 1.67GHz G4 and a 1.67GHz SINGLE core Centrino the Centrino
BLOWS THE G4 AWAY!!!
Which would NOT be true if only Apple's software engineers had
properly "optimized" the OS for the G-series as was previously stated
on this list (more than once! Am I the only one who reads this
stuff?). OS X COULD have been MUCH faster on the G-series if Apple
hadn't for some unknown reaon tied a brick around it's neck. I'd love
to know why they did that, but I'm sure Jobs isn't gonna tell us why
anytime soon. And I really don't care how fast anybody claims an Intel
"Mac" (whether MacBook or "MacMac"), I have no desire to buy one! Talk
about "lemmings"! I guess Jobs really does have the "cult of
personality".
There is absolutely no need to degrade and put down others on this
list. I have let the MacWorld hype and discussions go on this week,
but this is going too far.
This subject and subject line is closed for rant.
Further posts will be banned as well as anybody else that incites crap
or talks nasty about others...
Thanks!
