Re: TI-H: heh


You are right. I wasn't inclined to help him because I hate macs. It did
take a long time because he was forcing Virtual Memory, but he took that off
and programs ran slower than my computer. The only thing a mac is good for
is BeOS and maybe even linux. But since x86's run Linux, NT, and BeOS, then
they are pretty much the way to go. If they weren't, then every linux user
would be buying PPC's off of surplus or getting them out of the trash and
using them for a linux server... I personally LOVE pissing off my mac friend
about the tests they do with PPC's... Steve jobs tried to show off the G3 by
comparing Mac based programs on a wintel PII and on the G3. It makes you
wonder when G3 233 has completed something, when the PII 300 is barely 10%
done... I guess Intel really blows, huh? They should try doing some
scientific tests, instead of bullshit tests. Maybe then I'd consider getting
a ppc or two. Right now I'm looking to get an old risc computer to play
with.
