  3. You mean Panther runs on PCs?!? by PasteEater · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wow! It's about time. How long have we been waiting for this!

    I'm going to be really pissed if it doesn't run on my 233 MHz Pentium II though. And does it *really* need 128 megs of RAM? Can't I skate by on 64? And $129? It should be free to anyone who bought a computer in the past three years.

    That's just my small percentage of an opinion.

    What would you gain from using a different logic board?

    Just ignore him. All PC users feel the need to replace bits of their computer that they're not happy with.

    Sure, you can buy graphics cards for the PC that you can't buy for the Mac - yet. Not that most of the hyped features are actually used even by the latest games - and infact won't be until the card is an old hat on the Mac. Nor can you buy Daikatana for the Mac, nor Winmodems, nor a cheap Soundblaster16 compatible card. I feel so left out.

    Whereas all Mac users, on the other hand, are happy with their computers as they are. The lesson? If you do it right from the start, there won't be any need to dick around with it later.

    hmm, so for each freeze it loses a star....

    man, if you'd reviewed Windows98 it'd have been a -78 stars.
