I could almost argue the opposite: Many PC-fanatics haven't seen the
true state of the machine. An avid games player with the latest
cutting edge hardware sitting in his bedroom will indeed be very
pleased at his purchase. He'll be just as pleased in 6 months time
when he buys a new one, too. :)
What such people don't see is that the /average/ PC is not a 500MHz
machine, but some sort of grotty P133 with 16Mb ram. This is whats in
offices all over the country. Thats what people have to use all this
new software on. Every so often a company will upgrade its machines.
Very seldom to the latest spec, and almost always the old ones will
filter down to other departments. Private users bought high-spec
machines two years ago, and now wonder why they are slow.. Computing
is a rich man's hobby. :-/
If we're going to compare computer hardware, lets be fair. A pc will
win on hardware spec alone, granted. I maintain an Amiga can often
win on productivity. But don't compare a 4Mb 030 with a 128Mb 500Mhz
K7... Please..
Cheers,
