G4 Macs ROCK!
I find it very difficult to read the words of the PC "faithful" who just don't get the big picture. PC's are a lame excuse for Power and Usability. Windows is an antiquated spinoff of MacOS 7. That's just on the software side. This G4 dual processor has plenty of speed and power. Add a Virtual PC package and it runs 95% of all Windows software (depending on the version of windows you select). On top of that, I have all my former PC documents and they save rather nicely on the Mac. The future, my PC friends, is OPEN SOURCE. No more monopoly for Microsoft, and watch the prices fall! If it weren't for Apple's existence, Do you really think the PC manufacturers would sell boxes at the margin levels that they are? Not a chance, they would rip you off. What keeps them at bay is the threat of an alternative platform. Think about that, before you focus your energy on the PC's low prices. Get inside and check out the corners they cut to put a PC in every home!! Now, tell me again about all the integrated software that a box maker puts in your PC system? Tell me about the mysterious PC crashes, or windows crashes that have become a standard on the WINDOZE platform? If one of my apps crash, I don't have to reboot my system, just restart the app. Or, if an App freezes, I can Force Quit and restart the app. OS "X" rarely freezes. In fact, my machine has been running now for 8 months since I last shut it down. Apple will continue to "change the world" one user at a time. Someday, you'll be thankful that they did.....
Wake up, smell the obsolete processor on your PC.
I. Hate. P.C. Users. Who. Put. Down. Apple. Because. It. . Has. A. THEORETICALLY Lower MHz. There's more to a CPU than the clockspeed: I mean, for one, who needs a 4.4 GHz Wintel With 30 USB 2.0 ports? Plus, the PC's processor (oooooh, it's a pentium 4 (i didn't capitalize "pentium" because it hardly deserves to be considered a proper name))may theoretically be better than, say, a veteran such as the omnipotent G4. The p4 (what sounds better: p4 or G4, think about it) may be a bigger water tower (metaphors!) but your letting it come out through a bendy straw (more metaphors!) A G4 may be a smaller water tower, but it's comiknbg out through a 3-foot pipe. Am I the only ne who recalls where Firewire came from? APPLE! iLink a) steals a lower case "i" from iPod and iBook. It's just another example of Microsift, Dell, IBM, and all their Wintel honchos being too lazy to figure out their own stuff and grifting it off Apple. And that hoopla about Apple's graphic's? It might not be the hardware, just the fact that your Mac doesn't want to play an inferior Wintel game. If your thinking "well, PC's are still cheaper", well, your right. But hey, in today's world, you get what you pay for!
AN ACTUAL OWNER REVIEW HERE IGNORE THOSE PC LAMOS
It's amazing to me that after all these years the anti-Mac (read windows users) establishment continues to be brainwashed. There are a couple of one star reviews here from PC owners, not owners of this Mac system or ANY Mac system for that matter. I can tell you this: I have used Macs since day one, AND I have used Windows machines for years. The Mac was a better computer 18 years ago and it is today and will continue to be. One reviewer mentions the various firewire ports, USB 2.0, video card, hard drive, yadda yadda ports etc...on the PC that for some reason he thinks are better (hello? who coined the term firewire and MADE it mainstream, not Microsoft or Dell) -- ask that same person how seemless it all is, how it really is NOT plug and play and how completely horrifying WindowsXP is because most of your old software will not be compatible! Ask any Windows user how easy it is to troubleshoot their machine and they'll tell you to ask their PC support guy who charges $95/hr. There is a bit of a premium for a Mac, yes. But always remember that you are buying the ONLY fully integrated hardware+software system in the world that's easy for a layman and pure sophistication for the UNIX geek. Go Man and you won't look back.
