Indeed, and let me tell: all Mac aficionados scientists are delighted 
here. We tried - just for fun - to compare prices with 64-bit 
workshations available on the market: Apple now gets you more bang for 
your money. With Dell we even had to similar configurations and the G5 
was almost $2000 (that's 2k) CHEAPER!

AND, the only stuff Windows trolls have been able to put out this time 
is that the benchmarks are flawed because Apple used GCC compiler for 
the PCs. Well, that is perfectly fine with *us*: our development is 
essentially GCC compiled. We could not care less if on some other 
environment the Intel performs better.

Finally, (just as an amusing note) even Merrill Linch got it this time. 
They upgraded Apple stocks ;-)
