  1. eMachines more useful than Mac by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    The Emachine is much more useful than the Mac, as it can run a hellofalot more software.

    The last time this was mentioned, the retort came from a Mac user listing all the wonderful software they could use. Almost all of the software packages listed were web sites. Not sites where you could download software: just web sites. "I can do anything at all on the Mac: I can go to Google! Yahoo! wow!"

    Windows XP 64-bit is already made -- for the Itanium. You either get to wait for them to port it to the Athlon64, or you get to find another one.
