...but don't forget software
by David K. on Tue 16th Jul 2002 12:23 UTC

I know this is about hardware but the main reason for me to stay with Apple is software. Having to work with both Windose (2k and XP) and OS X, I have to say I wouldn't even consider buying a PC. The latest builds of Jaguar (OSX 10.2) are *very* fast. Any G4 is fast enough for a regular Desktop machine. What really saves me time is the much faster system navigation , stability, install procedures etc. on a Mac.
To put it another way: What good is a car that does 250mph instead of 200mph if the seats hurt your back all the time ?
I think it's not wise to use Windows OSes at all.
