"I have nothing against Macs", then talking against Macs nonstop. Careful, your bias is showing.

I'm delighted to see the Mac stores. Maybe now they'll be tended by someone other than the snot-nosed kid at CompUSA who inevitably knows nothing about them.

I have nothing against Macs. But there's nothing they can do that a properly configured PC can't do as well.

I might even buy one. If the entire world wasn't made for PC.

It would be like me choosing to be left handed at birth. It'd be cool, but I'd have to spend half-my time trying to find left handed scissors.

About the Apple stores- I think it's a wonderful idea. it's obvious, not to mention humerous when PC users start taking needless cracks at Apple. What you have to understand is the Macintosh is a niche machine, much like SGI (and I'm not comparing the two performance wise.. each has its place). Macintosh has always been synonymous with creativity, therefore it has been widely accepted by creative professionals and the like- the like being those who enjoy integrating art and technology into their lives. Let's take audio and video editing/production. What do you usually see next to the SGI O2's? Power Macs. :)

I have not been able to confirm or deny this...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,809111 Tue, 08 May 2001 13:30:16 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,808860 Karl Bode : Might be good timing in the end. We're climbing out of the bell curve on PC purchasing. Everyone who bought a PC 2 years ago during the flock of cheap P2's and P3's will be looking during the next year. They're just preparing for this.

Stupid Jobs needs to realize though that the gaming market is a HUGE one. It's kind of a sad statistic....but there are MANY PC owners who buy that 3000 rig mainly to game.

Showing up at E3 would be a start....although I am pleased that they ditched the ATI crap and went NVidia. Now they just need more than 2 titles a month for the green boxes of doom.....

Haven't they seen the sales figures for computers lately? Now that everyone and their dog has their own pc, I hardly think that there's going to be a rush of people going out to their new retail outlets to buy up all of their machines.
