Apple are the best thing since sliced bread

After watching a few of thier keynote speaches on the internet, i now
totaly worship all things apple.

Afterall, what would you rather have, a big nooisy beige box that might
work if u ask nicly, or a sexy sreamlines clean cut compact machine
that you could throw rocks at and still have it work smoothly?
(and i dont even have a mac, or an ipod!)

*groan* Another one infected with "Macitude"

I'll take a nice, beige PC that will run rings around a mac
in nearly every app, and costs less to boot.

Just imagine what an Athlon64 based system with DDR2
could do to the Mac!

Yeh, an there spell chekkers work good, to.

Aww too bad that lovely review has one major flaw in it ..............
the Apple Macintosh used in it was DISCONTINUED 2 YEARS AGO!!
The current PowerPC 970 ( a derivative of the IBM Power4) 64 bit
processor machine occupying the same price range has dual 2.5 ghz
processors and a frontside 1.25ghz bus. Not only does it run rings
around the Athlons a 1100 unit (2200 cpus) cluster of them rank #7 in
the worlds fastest computers now AMD, Intel (p4 based) machines even
break the the top 20.

What would an Athlon64 based system with DDR2 do to a Mac ?????
Make it slow as molasses.

I'd rather have a machine for which a wide variety of software is
available at reasonable prices, thank you.

Another person who doesn't know squat about the Mac, writing about the
Mac. Mac software costs the same as identical or equivalent software
for Windows. (Except for viruses, spyware, and other malware -- you
can't get any of those for the Mac at any price.)

Apples should be stomped into the ground and used to fertilize
a crop of decent machines. I'm sick of seeing Apple pay EVERY
television show and movie studio to constantly showcase
their products, to make people think they have a strong diffusion
in most workplaces, BECAUSE THEY DON'T!!!!!!!

I assure you that Mac viruses have existed--I once had to remove them
from a network of Macs.

The _real_ problem with Macs is that many software packages available
for Windows have never been ported to Macs, and probably never will be.

BTW I do own an iPod, which is Windows compatible. I am not an OS snob,
though I wish someone would create a clean window manager for Linux. I'm
underwhemed by Gnome and its dancing icons/mouse pointers.

That and the inability to run high-end scientific hardware....

Stuff like this just won't run with a MAC:
