Referring of course, to the "bomb" window that pops up whenever MacOS decides to call it quits.
Right now, at this moment, the only thing I'll credit a mac with is the color-matching tech where the monitor talks to the rest of the mac about the output and standardizes everything.
Everything else, though, can be bested (or equaled) on a much-cheaper PC. Mac hardware is well behind the times--and I'm not talking about the "megahurtz" myth, do content creation benches on macs and a pc with photoshop and illustrator and a single-proc p4 can mop up a dual-proc G4.
They're pretty, and they can port colors well, but they're very niche. I'd rather build a 3 Ghz PC that can do whatever I ask it to from hardcore gaming to spreadsheets to digiart, than get last-gen hardware running a highly constrained and bloated version of Unix. |
