Yeah, I was considering buying a giant dual G(5) after I graduate and start making a solid wage. I don't really know why. I just want one. But besides the proprietary mac-only software, I figure I might be better off with a big sun or a clawhammer or something. But I guess time will tell, and I think mac will have to make some improvements. I heard that they're making DDR G4's by the end of summer. Of course, the only reason I'd consider these as options is because I already have an intel-compatible PC. No matter what people say, I don't think true windows compatibility is going to happen for a few years, especially on other hardware platforms. I know there are a lot of alternatives to business and productivity apps for linux, and that wine and winex exist, but when I want to play a particular game or download some odd software, linux just doesn't cut it for now. It just so happens that every now and then I really need to run some 4th party app for windows that just plain doesn't work outside of windows. For instance, I don't have the original copy of my diablo2, but I have a CD image sitting on my computer. With certain really hacked out cd burning programs, I have a chance of making a copy with my non-perfect burner. With a CD emulating program with full copy protection emulation, I can play the image with no problems, and its faster than the CD. But personally, I've never found any program like this for linux. But that's just my story.
