Agreenster,
First off to clear the record, you started the name calling. You called me a cry-baby first. Anyhow, I think that anyone should be able to put their opinion down and not get hassled for it. If you don't like my opinion about Apple that is fine, but you don't know anything about me as a person. I would give my shirt for anyone, probably even you, even though you think I am a puke. Look, I get upset at people when they start slamming me and they don't even know me.
Whatever you do with a computer is completely different then what I do. All I want is an easy to use computer that helps me manage my life. I use a digital camera, like MP3's, surf the net, and do a lot of email. My opinion is going to be different then yours, but I am still an Apple customer. In my OPINION, the new Macs are great for how I use them. As I have said before, if the Apple has such poor performance for your type of work you might have to look at a PC. You even admit XP is good, so I don't understand the problem.
The Macs will continue to improve and as time goes on the performance gap will narrow. With a 1.25 Dual, Apple is already at the point where most computer users will never use all the muscle. For people like yourself, I am sure there are new things in the works. I am suprised that people actually think Apple has no ideas beyond the G4.
I am just waiting for a 1Ghz iMac and then I will be happy, but for others it is probably not enough. I would be very surprised if the PPC 970 is not at the top of the market when it is introduced. Apple has done it before when they introduced the first G3 and the first G4. At the time they were smoking PC's. I think they will do it again. Then give them some time to see how the processor scales over time.
Like I said before, it is too early to write off this machine since it has not yet been introduced. I have never owned a G4 machine, because of timing and the $$$ involved. I find my computers to work well for how I use them. If they don't work for you, then you have two options either wait until Apple introduces a decent computer or buy a PC right now.
Look I am sorry if I came off bad, but I was upset. I was wrong to go after you, but I just had to defend myself. That's all. Peace.
