I like Apple. I own a Mac. But I'm no fanboy. Apples are expensive, slower than PCS, etc. But I still use my 5 year-old G3. Over the years I think we've all seen people tangle with Apple. It's a dangerous company to mess with.
And personally, hating Real as much as I do, I certainly don't wish them success. Glaser is a hippocrite for wanting to steal Apple's IP but not wanting Apple to steal theirs. It is a two-way street.
maybe this is why you think Macs are slower than PCs. I won't try to start a pissing contest over which IS faster/slower in the present, but relative performance depends a lot on perception. I find most PCs slower than my Dual G5...if I had an iBook I might think different(ly). But careful with the flame of Apple when operating on a different plane than many others.
Let me get this straight, you find your 2800 USD Dual g5 to be faster than most pc's you use. Ignoring the fact that the ASP for a desktop pc is about 800 USD.
Exactly. Performance is relative, and based on perception. I said that the parent used a 5-year-old machine on the Mac side, which skews the point of reference compared to more modern PCs. That's not really a fair comparison either, is it? 5 year old Mac vs New Dell? No way.
So exactly what I said. My Costly Dual G5 gives me a relative performance benefit over most PCs, which changes the perception...cost independent. Because when one is making a decision of 1 platform or the other being faster, that'

I could just as easly say the samething about my dual athlon MP system (which, btw is faster than most macs for what I use it for)

Let me try that again.

That isn't really a fair comparision, is it?
