PS> Apparently I;m not done (sorry! but) ... plus I HATE the way Apple consistantly lies in most of their adverstising ... it's infuriating. The 1st 1GHZ PC ... shhaaa right, what a load. That's like when Atari Lynx claimed to be the first 64-bit console -- in a pig's eye. Yeah it had 16-bit sound processecor, 16-bit graphics, etc., etc. 16-bit x 4.

Sorry, one more thing ... I don't see how they are superior. I will admit they have a unique and captivating look to them (on screen I mean). However, PCs are much more intuitive and effecient ... THREE WORDS: RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON !!! The fact that Macs are just now getting right mouse buttons (I think) shows you how bass-ackwards they are. There are soooo many more examples of how things are just plain EASIER on a PC it's incredible. And like the old kiddie saying goes, "Anything you can do I can do better!" And cheaper I might add. Which translates into lower fees for my clients, which naturally they like a whole lot, and couldn't tell or care less if it was done on a Mac. I use After Effects, Poser (obviously), 3DS MAX, Lightwave, Premeire, etc. with the same net results as someone using an overpriced and slower Mac. Well, I've preached enough. -Tim

Helly: Obviously everyone is going to have a strong opinion on this ... but the simple fact remains there just isn't a market for Macs like there is for PCs. Therefore there is a huge lack of software (and even web content) for the Mac. I can't tell you how many times I come accross something really cool for my PC (like Mimic for example) and go "Thank God I wasn't dumb enough to blow my money on a Mac!" I check my web site statistics regularly and not so amazingly enough, Macs make up less than 1% of the hits to all of my web sites. Also, Macs are slower per $$$ ... BIG TIME!! Finally, I have gone around with my friend who installs cable modems for a living and every Mac machine I came across takes forever and a year to boot ... what's the deal with that?? -Tim

Just buy a PC ... they're superior in almost every way when compared to Macs. I do everything on a PC my competition does on a Mac, FASTER and for A LOT less! Oh, and then there is the countless numbers of software titles that are NOT made for the Mac ... like MIMIC example. There are even a lot of net applications that aren't made for the Mac, like Dialpad (free long distance.) Sorry, didn't mean to preach, but I get tired of seeing people with Macs complaining or begging because something isn't made for the Mac, and they aren't smart enough to realize a long time ago that they need to buy a real computer.
