With apparently no attempt by Apple to go beyond the circa 1 GHZ G4 (another MacWorld passed) and no explanation by Jobs as to the shocking neglect of the high end, and the insult of having to re-buy OS X, and with Poser not taking advantage of multi-processing, Mac does not seem to be a good choice for a rig intended primarily for Poser. Not to mention the extra $1200-1500 you have to pay for a Mac on the high end to get the same Poser power. Not to mention all the 3D and Poser stuff that is Win only. Not to mention CuriousLabs now making Mac the follow-along-eventually platform. I have been Mac for 17 years, but am buying Athlon system for Poser. ::::: Opera :::::
