CPU speed is over-rated considering Windows apps have horrible interfaces.

Interesting... my tibook has only crashed 3 times in the two months I have had it. Each time when running a sh**y classic app.

The other consideration is time to task. Who the hell cares how fast a CPU is when doing html and web graphics. It is the time it takes the human to do a task. Honestly I don't recall the last time I was waiting... like I was on my 7100. The X human interaction standards are by far the best out there, bar none.

Two bottlenecks:

CPU bottleneck

human-computer bottleneck

Which one wastes more of your time in a given day? I would say the human-computer bottleneck does. This is true with Mac OS X, but even more so with Windows.

BTW is there a point to Flash? I only use it to view stupid internet cartoons. When a web site has a flash front-end I usually go elsewhere.

I propose that if Cocoa apps sucked less I would value that more than a CPU twice as fast |-)

Try new things? Uuuh. Whatever happened to content? You know, information, perhaps even useful information?

Oh by all means make it "frickin' cool" so I know which web sites to avoid.
