You realize that Mac are preferred computers for doing film editing,
right?

That's pretty demanding.

Makes you wonder what they could do with a more powerful PC, and why
they aren't ... that is pretty demanding, seeing the logic!

Some do use PCs, John.

But there is more to overall productivity that simply reading numbers
from a benchmark.

Linux for DEVELOPMENT
Mac for ANGRY BIRDS AND iTUNES
Palm for MOBILITY
Windows for PRODUCTIVITY (with occasional hiccups)

Linux is actually the system I would choose to have in the most wide
spread use in all areas of computing ... however, since it is given away
for free, fools cannot recognize the value ... hence, not a large enough
market share to interest game developers and other large market share
uses ... it is a crying shame and demonstrates the truth to the
statement, "85%+ of American are idiots."

But, dual boot to windows 7 and linux is well worth it ...

John:

Mac OS X does pretty much everything that Linux does plus it was better
support from software and hardware manufacturers.


Can it load up windows libraries and run windows binaries?

You mean using WINE? Yup.

MACS are weak, and you will have to abandon any hope of running most
free/shareware apps or even popular mainstream apps ... they just aren't
written for the MAC ... the bitter truth.

Incorrect... ...as usual.


No, it is true ... all of my text ... anyone doubting it needs only
purchase a MAC and find out ... end of story. Let 'em put up or shut up.


Quick:

Name a Linux app you claim the Mac (please note that "MAC" is an acronym
for Media Access Controller, among other things, not the name of Apple's
computers).


Hey, let them buy the MAC and find out, most of us will enjoy a good
laugh. They have been warned ... alright already.

Trust me, if they come back and want to thank you, more power to them,
and you ... roflol!
