correct me If i'm wrong but in the first page, wchamlet posted something along the lines of this " Now it's time for the Mac's to overcome all PC's again" and "And I now all you naysayers are going to backlash and say that PC's where never slower than Macs. But the truth is until the 1Ghz barrier was broken by the AMD Athlon chip, Macs where the fastest machines, bar none, for personal use." He explained how macs were better than PCs so don't blame it all on me.

Actually, Kevin started all of this. Literally. If he wouldn't have created simplymaya.com, none of us would be here. But now, Kevin has let loose a plague that will forever alter the course of history!

Let's all blame Kevin!

O' wait a minute... which came first? Kevin or the Mac? :insert eery music:

Hey. When it gets down too it. You could show me a Mac, that is 1000xfaster than the most Top of the Line PC. I would still use a PC. I dont like the OS of the Macs. They annoy me to no end. There are some things about Windows that annoys me, but I chose windows any way. I could own a Mac, an d a PC. I would still try to make it as fast as I could. Make the OS' as smooth as posible. My own truth is, yes, my own truth, Windows, is more preferable, PC machine builds are preferable, and software for PC, is preferable. I have a longer history with Macs, then I do with PCs, and i still stand. Let everyone choose what they may. Just provide them with the posabilities, and allow them to choose.

But he didn't really state how much it cost him for his machine, nor did he say what types of other specifications his computer has. Digital Audio I/O? PCI-X, or AGP 8X? 16 GBps throughput? I'm not trying to call you out David, it was just a point I was trying to make.

My entire system was around £650 pound

The new mac is a very nice machine that much we can agree on, however I don’t like the OS and I hate the company, and its still overpriced to the tune of around a thousand bux.

Adobe already has a plugin for the G5 to accelerate Photoshop even more. I'm pretty excited if this is an indication of what companies are going to do in the future for the G5. I'm actually a little surprized by this because I figured Adobe would be the last adopter of implementing code enhancements for the G5. Interesting stuff.

"Available free of charge, Adobe's new Photoshop plug-in technology and software enhancement can make this industry-standard application run twice as fast, when compared to Photoshop running on any previous Apple system."
