Yes, the stuff of marketting legends when Chevrolet introduced that into Mexico..

Actually, Mac has decided that THEIR user base is ready for a real operating system complete with a full unix kernel and BSD networking. |

And please, don't whine about how a mac is better. It isn't. It is a piece of hardware, and the software is what makes it work. Software can be written to do the same thing on any platform. So please spare us... Believe me, a Mac running OS X is far better UNIX workstation than a Sparc 5 running Solaris. As to the consumer desktop apps, well you want to run toy programs, of course a toy OS and a toy PC are going to run those better. Do you do your grocery shopping and kid carpooling in a Ferrari? But you miss the real point, and confirm that when you say "running OS X". The hardware is not superior to anything, and in fact is far over priced. Although not as bad as anything Sun and some others ship. |
64 bit. As for processor speed, you can measure system performance,
or use the "speedometer mentality". Just because the speedometer
goes to 120 doesn't mean the vehicle will.
As for overpriced, it depends on whether you just need to to one
thing, or need to be able to run multiple apps with critical
response times simultaneously, particularly when those apps
are required to communicate with each other.
Besides, Solaris runs on Intel.

The key issue is cost per instruction processed, and nothing beats the PC for that for consumers and the overwhelming majority of businesses. Even when you compare RISC vs. CISC, PCs win out. |
RISC in their internals. The old RISC/CISC war was settled with
an armistice long ago. Dunno any non-pipelining, register rich,
non-predictive branching chips left, for some time.

That's good. "Come on you guys, let's go Mooning" "Today on the interstate, some Mooners were Mooning in their Moons. The spectacle caused an accident that closed all four lanes just south of Main Street. Film at eleven." |

Your reply got lost somehow ! |
the posting still shows as attbi. There appear to be a
few "stability issues" still remaining, and these are not
helped by my somewhat impatient mannerisms, where I click
the blankety blank wrong blankety blank button all too
often.
