Asrai,I'm sorry that all of these people are flaming you. My grandfather owned a Mac and he used to speak very highly of it. I've always cheered for the underdog . . . it's like when Bjorn Borg tried to make a comeback with his tiny wooden racket, because it had worked so well for him in the 70's. But I still think that a Mac would make a good upgrade for anyone tired of their PII/66mhz with 16megs of RAM. But maybe it's time for you to quit your whining, wake up and smell the cappucino. Macs have gone the way of the dodo bird. Most commercial designers that I know have already switched over. Mac is no longer even close in the technology race and loses ground every couple of months. Ever hear of DDR or RDRam? Mac offers only low-bandwith SDRam. Intel is approaching 3 gigahertz and will be 10 gigahertz within the next couple of years. Mac's latest technology ... 866mhz?? I have to admit, Macs are pretty ... 2002 styling with 1982 technology. Plus, whenever you boot up, you have to wait for those damn vacuum tubes to warm up ... Frankly, I think that you should be grateful that CL is catering to Mac users at all, instead of criticizing them for not treating it the same as the more profitable Windows market.
