According to Mike Stanley: >Your friend flipped because you compared two completely different - >not even remotely related things? Crazy old world, no? <laughs> yeah, he thought it was pretty cool. But then, expecting good scientific analysis/comparison from a graphics guy [my friend] isn't exactly a rational expectation, either, is it? >That would be like me comparing how fast my TiBook recovers from >being asleep and the amount of time it takes my G4 to boot-up. > >VMWare on the PC side (which outperforms VPC on the Mac by a country >mile, albeit probably being easier to emulate x86 hardware on x86 >hardware) can do the same "magic" saved state thing as well. > >That having been said, I always save the state of my VPC's as well - >but I don't find their restore time to be anything worth flipping >over - other than it being convenient. Well, despite my nickname, I can't remember the last time I 'flipped' over anything, but that aside, I was merely reporting his reaction, not mine. It's all so damned subjective, eh? And convenience... well, for someone like myself, who works under constant deadlines, you just said [one of] the magic word[s]. Still not 'flipping' though. :=) ~flipper
