Re: Great timing eh?

You contradict yourself too much, Mother.

"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 know all the usual stigma about the creative/design/audio hooplah, and that might have been true years ago, but now it's just another techno-geek war with no real merit.

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.

It will. nVidia is having problems with getting enough chips for the cards, that's why you haven't seen them yet.

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 hear rumors that the GF3 chip will debut on Apple computers first. I have not been able to confirm or deny this...
