The problem is the x86 macs are sub standard junk, and the PPC machines aren't any better. The G5, huge failure, very under performing. They sell a hell of allot of them, and its only for the case work. People will eventually realize that OSX is a pretty gui over the top of an obsolete BSD platform, that has had everything that makes unix good taken out. I'm not saying windows or linux either one are any better. Right now, infact, i would say its all pretty much consumer garbage, with quality compleatly ignored. And thats fine, as its all very inexpensive, saaaave for apple who still want an arm and a leg for it all. > Besides, Apple will fight a commercial effort of this sort tooth and > nail, and they have the financial resources to smash it flat. > > Godfrey > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow > the directions. -- Ben 'Polyhead' Smith KE7GAL -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
