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.
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's not really based on price. Price is something else entirely!

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)
