Okay, I confess I own a few shares of Apple stock. ;-) Sounds like you have a pretty peppy PC there. I'm used to hearing Pentium4 users bragging about how fast they are when don't even come close to G4 speeds. I'm sure the one you have cost a lot more than a Gateway or Dell special though. By comparison, the G4 iMac BOTTOM of the line model is 700mhz G4 with 384MB RAM, 40Gig HD, flatscreen, free printer CD-RW drive with 5 USB and 2 Firewire ports is selling for...are you sitting down? $1,294 from MacMall. That's hard to beat in any man's army. DUDE, Yer gettin a MAC! hehe. ;-)
