*** Since the Wintel couple is lying their pants off, anybody else wanting
to keep up the pace and compete has to use the same tricks. It's regrettable
but a lot of people out there are brainwashed with Wintel's "There ain't no
substitute for Mhz's" marketing crap. I laugh my but off Saturday's when I
go buy IT stuff: The amount of PC users talking about CPU's and which one
goes 0,2% faster than the other is amazing. In the mean time they're also
potential Apple customers.

How many times did I see people go home with a custom build PC: Top of the
hill Pentium IV 3Ghz CPU, super Mobo and... since money has been almost
spent on the CPU and the board... a 5400RPM disc, 256Mb RAM for WinXP and a
low end video card...

Anybody who's touched a mouse once in his life compares right away the Apple
CPU and the Pentium... and goes to buy a Pentium. After all 3GHz sounds much
better the 1,5 or 2... Never mind their crappy WinOS is going to eat up most
of the CPU cycles for doing nothing... It's the 3GHz dude!
