Hrmm, is knocking Mac users just for the sake of it a great idea -- considering the very owner of this site is a Mac user?

Besides, for those who do dispise them, you'll probably be pleased to know, it's likely they're on the way out. The PowerPC CPU architecture, which Apple has used for literally years, has been dropped now, in favour of the Intel x86 (IA32) architecture -- the first x86 Apples due for release in a few years time.

This is a shame though, because Apple did have a very nice system architecture. But alas, they lost their way when they released the iMac (first Apple desktop to use IDE disk drives instead of SCSI), and few people are able to justify the cost of the machines, dispite 1GHz G5's running rings around the latest P4 CPUs.

(Hrmm, I wonder what the Apple evangelists will say when this day does arrive ;-)
