I'd watch your link (although I think I've seen it before) but I am at work on a PC, and it won't connect to it If it did I wouldn't be able to hear it 'cos there's no soundcard and if there was it would probably need the driver updating, and then it would crash halfway through downloading it, and again at 3/4, again at 7/8, and then XP would fail to see it And even after all that the graphics card, accelerator, driver or codec would probably have expired or something

And just wait and see the power of the new Intel based Macs HERE. If you can open your eyes long enough to see a bright, fast, reliable, userfriendly world....READ ON !

Always amazes me how easily PC owners are quick to dismiss Macs, having never used one and yet I use PC's frequently and so have a balanced viewpoint, enough to realise PC's are $h!te. It's like saying Ferrari's are better than Lambourghini's (sp?) having never even sat in one

A few more people's opinions...1, 2, 3.... I could go on

Al. We've been here before. Just let it lie

I'm perfectly happy for Al to languish in mediocrity, frustration and disappointment. I my Mac, so much I'm gonna buy one of those nice new Intel models

BTW, now I'm home and on my Mac I can view the bl00dy link. Unlike the feckin Ł2k wnaksh!t PC I was using last night, that crashed 5 minutes after I posted and it took me an hour to reboot it back up The 9 Macs I used last night behaved faultlessly, even though our PC based IT manager has no idea how to run them and tries every trick in the book to break them, he fails, and they just keep on do-ing

I think you boys are missing the point, it isn't about MAC's versus PC's, it's all about the operating system and that means to both of ya Linux rules!

Is that made by Mitsubishi?

I feel like a kid who's poked a stick into a hole in a tree thinking there was only one wasp...

You bring a comedy sketch, I show you the reality of the error of your ways. Those clips to me are like watching the founder of Ikea trying and failing to errect one of his own bedside cabinets Ever since he knicked the Mac OS in 1973, spoilt it by reworking it and then signed the agreement with IBM (his only truly masterful act in 33 years in computing ) he's been trying to play catch-up with Steve Jobs. Steve even took 10 years out of computing to entertain the world with his wonderful Pixar company, and even now only holds a minor roll in his own company yet still produces the most userfriendly, intuitive, stylish, desirable and comprehensively equiped machines. When you watch those wonderful animated movies, they were made on a Mac. When you gasp at the special effects in a blockbuster epic, they were done on a Mac. When you listen to your favourite album, it was mixed and edited on a Mac. When you sit and read your favourite magazine, it was designed and published on a Mac. When you get a letter from your bank wrongly telling you that you're overdrawn and imposing charges, it was probably fooked up on a PC.

By the way, it's "Mac," not "MAC." "MAC," as any self-respecting geek knows, stands for "Media Access Contol." Did you know your PC has a MAC address?

I did

I also know it's unique and in hexidecimal

David.... Breathe.. In....... Out...... In.... Out... That's better.

There's too many Mac owners out there who make Al'Q operatives look like Nursery nannies. Waay to much need to justify the Mac's existance...

BTW. From a mac site. 'Pixar doesn't use Mac OS X for its rendering and other animation duties, at least not yet, but it seems clear that Mr. Jobs is determined to make Mac OS X right for his movie company, and other Hollywood studios as well.
Will we see RenderMan ported to Mac OS X? Renderman is Pixar's home-built animation tool that was used to develop all of the company's animated movies? The RenderMan® Artist Tools™ and RenderMan Toolkit™ are available on three popular platforms - IRIX, Linux, and Windows. - Note: This part is now incorrect as Renderman is now available for OS X. But it wasn't first choice surprisingly.

I could argue very well that the PC world is also full of Stylish, intuative, desirable etc etc kit... but that's all subjective and I don't need to justify why I use, work with and earn the money I do with Wintel / Linux / Cisco / Oracle etc.... No macs though.

But like the Evo / Scoob debate, these can be fun
