wonderful replies - both of them. Blingbling you wrote a great reply. no need to hero worship racerx. he has a few more years and a little more experience/education in the field than you. be proud of having done as well as you did for a guy your age. I think your reply might be more meaningful to the writers since it states how you are not a mac user. unfortunately they will probably pay about as much attention to either as they did to the facts in the first place.

I still think somebody should have pointed out the world is going firewire.

so jadey, where did you find this> is this site a popular one? did you follow some link to get there or do you read this crap for sh*ts and giggles on a regular basis?

it does sound like manicDVLN got a gig with an audience, doesn't it?

Funny, I thought that I was modeling my response after your's, BlingBling. Actually it was your response that got me to read the article in the first place. I originally thought that it was going to be the standard flame type article, but it turned out to be much more (or should I say much less ).

Hehe Gotta love these topics
It's too bad that many ignorant PC users just NEVER see things like this. Somebody should start a website WhyMac

yes I agree firewire should have been made a point as well as QuickTime. But they'll never listen. I just wonder where MRFRG is

Please, one off topic comment to Matrix Agent:

Are you the "You're getting a Dell, Dude!" dude? or are you just using his image??? If that's really tou, no insult intended. NOw back to Civ III. As Chairman Bismark, I am wiping the planet with the Zulus and the French!

i sent this to those uninformed bastards:

To: consumers@reviewboard.com
Subject: Regarding "Apple Powerbook G4 By The Review Crew "

You guys are way off base, and I suggest that you do some research before you post bogus articles like this one. Let me just point of a few of your mistakes:

1."There is very little in the way of software available for the Apple when you compare it to the PC offerings."
This is very wrong. There is a ton of 3rd party software available for the Mac. (not MAC that stands fro Media Access Control) Almost every UNIX utility can now be compiles to run under OS X. Apple list many, but not all of the applications available for OS X here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/

2. "Their new OS which they call OS X is based on Linux..."
Mac OS X is a BSD based operation system. And you could have easily found this out by check this page on apple.com: http://www.apple.com/macosx/

3.They aren't giving enough incentive to developers to do anything for the Apple OS and because they don't have developers making software...
Wrong. A CDR of Mac OS X Developer Tools ships with every copy of OS X and they are also available for free from apple.com. If this is not incentive to develop OS X applications then I don't know what is.

The author(s) of this article need to step away from the crack pipe and start doing their research.

Reviewboard.com has made it to my list of site that are not worth visiting.

Poor journalism will get you nowhere,
