Cool

Like SimX said, this may not be a good topic to start. But...

If my old Performa 631CD (my first "own" mac) had an ethernet port I'd rather use that running 7.5.1 than a 100 GHz Pentium 6 with Super SDRAM DDR Magic Go fast Ram running Windows XP 2000SE Edition Me.

Talking

Hey, at its prime, my Quadra 660AV kicked butt!!! Running OS 7.5 when it first came out, I was styling! That was a sweet little machine.

HEHE!

a dual ghz mac could take on a p2 2.2 ghz, but i still hate it's price tag... with passion, sometmes it doesnt even seem like the extra power is really worth the price, although when your pc starts crashing and your hardware burning and your cd-rom drive shacking like a fridge at 40x speed, i sort of admire the elegance of a mac.

I don't know. I just made the mac switch, and I'm pretty sure that if I had gone with a PC it would have cost the same or similar...

I don't know. It really comes down to price. If apple ever did *really* fall behind as far as clock speeds were concerned...

The only thing wrong with this topic is that users of both sides (The Light and Dark side -- it's your call which way you want to interpret that ) tend to get, ah, a little overzealous about the pros of their side and the cons of the other.

Can you say jihad? Oh, good, I knew you could.

See the "Lets get together some arguments why MAC is better than PeeCee!!!" thread for an example.
