i mean, you know what you're doing on a broad, consumer level, like most people but you have no clue as to the hidden workings of anything let me state some facts for you that i have personally observed and for the record, the "mac" i refer to is a brand new dual-1ghz mac with 1.5 gb of ram and all the bells ans whistles, and the PC is a p3 866 with 768mb of ram with a lower-end video card: -my PC runs any Flash about 10x faster than the mac (based on framerates and ability to draw things) than the mac does, be they games, animations, or just graphic-intensive things -my PC runs things like Photoshop faster than the MAC... considering macs are all about the graphics, this was surprising -my PC has absolutly no problems printing to the various network printers in our office, none of the os-x machines can do it well (they either dont work at all of work very badly), but the os-9 machines can do it fine -every piece of software ever made generally works better on the PC than on the mac. internet explorer is miles better on the PC, it's total shit on the mac. there are no good programming tools on the mac. there are no good GAMES on the mac. -don't harp about virtual PC, i've tried it. the mac mentioned above can run windows 2000 in virtual PC... and it runs about as good as a pentium 200 can run windows 2000. anyways the basic points: the PC is cheaper, faster, more expandable, supports more stuff, has many choices for hardware and software manufactures, and has many choices for OS manufactures. apple only gives you one choice: apple. my boss is a total mac-man, and i agree that macs are fine for people with brain diseases. not for me. -av sol.greyfox wrote: >LOL... you may have several Macs but you apparently have absolutely no clue >how to use them, because if you truly did you would be joining the Mac >revolution.
