Shadowdragonlord - using Mojoworld as a benchmark for Macs is completely inaccurate. I worked with Doc Mo in the very beginning of that app and the Mac is a PORT of the PC code (instant slowdown). Craig - their very talented progammer only knows the PC and he HIGHLY optimized the PC code for intel processor with a bunch of custom calls, so of course it runs faster on PCs. Using this benchmark is ridiculous as a comparison. <<Here's the math : Lazy person with money + likes shiny plastic and doesn't care about performance = Mac user.>> This statement is completely full of shit. WE ALL care about performance since 3d pushes the limits of every box ANYONE can make or buy. We are all 3d artists and we always need higher performance than any of the platforms can provide. What we don't like is that JACKASS in redmond WA who runs a monopoly and we don't support this asshole. What we don't like is having our financial information stored on Microsoft's infinitely hacked servers (via passport). What we don't like is running an OS where we spend more time protecting against or applying patches for viruses. What we don't like is having to defend Macs against people who have never used one... << Remember, they MADE Windows in the first place to get AWAY from Unix, which has been around since the 60's!!>> They MADE windows in the first place to get away from DOS! At that time UNIX only ran on expensive midrange machines. They made windows in the first place because the Macintosh GUI made everything easier - PCs were still running on command line DOS when the Mac was becoming popular with its easy to use fully graphic user interface. PCs at that time were running on 16bit processors and Macs were born on 32bit. This 16bit legacy bites windows users every day when the registry gets corrupted. That registry exists because it was an easy (and sloppy way) to support running the old windows 16bit apps. Cut to the present - yes PCs are faster and cheaper to build - (monopolies foster this) and the NT/XP codebase is much more reliable than its lowly predecessors - they are also based on UNIX underpinnings. OSX runs on Unix but it is the first widely accepted GUI running UNIX - far surpassing what Linux tried to accomplish. Gee it looks like we are all heading back toward the UNIX you said we were all trying to get away from. You said so many other inflammatory and uninformed comments about Mac users I won't even diginify those with a statement. Scott
