    viva la %2 marketshare! Don't buy a mac.

    Sorry, but I couldn't resist. :) Where are those 2.4GHz PowerMac G5 boxes again? Remember in a year after PowerMac G5 launch there were going to be at 3GHz. Wait a minute, pesky IBM yield problems.

    Yeah, thank god for Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD 64 bit. But wait, your a Mac cultist, you are unaware of things that Jobs doesn't brainwash you on. Why I've got Mandrake 64, Win XP, and Win XP 64 on my laptop right now. Sweet.

    Sorry, but OS X IS NOT 64bit. By the time rumoured 64bit Photoshop comes out (sometimes in November or December?) Microsoft may very well release final version of 64bit XP, and OS X (Tiger) will still be 32 bit. Yes, it might have some 64bit "extensions" enabling it to use more than 4GB RAM, but so does present XP/Win Server on 32-bit Xeons.
