It is time to put the new faster IBM G3 chips to action. Preferably in portables but desktops as well. It is time ? They're all new, you might say. What I mean is that Apple has to seriously rethink their "the G4 must be faster than the G3" policy. The iBook is a success. It would become more so with faster, more efficient chips. It would -in my eyes- be unwise to sacrifice that potential in order to maintain a marketing phantom that requires the G4 processors ("professionals") to be faster than the G3s. Nobody really believes in the whole contrievance anyway.
A G4 still has its advantages. If I'm into vector scaling etc., I'll still go for a G4 processor, even at a lower clock speed. The G4 is aimed at professionals, and they know what they need.
I'd like to discuss this "open letter" and await your comments on Apple's speed policy.
