the peecee users are the 'content consumers'. they will watch, be marketed to, and be controlled. (they have already proven they dont mind- see passport)
the mac users among us are the 'content CREATORS'.
where do you suppose the better jobs will be? with the creators, of course.
where do you suppose the better 'eXPerience' will be? on the platform that has been creating content for years.
iMovie is YEARS ahead of any peecee editing program, is free, and is the lead-in to more expensive (and mac-exclusive) programs like final cut pro. Can you do FCP things on peecees? sure- if you want to spend more than FCP ($999) for just a hardware encoding/firewire board, then add software, then struggle to integrate it, etc. the best solution on the market going forward into the 'digital video' era, is the mac, plain and simple.
You guys all just keep puttering along with windows/linux/lindows/etc. in a few years you will be where i was last year, because of the integration/ease/power of the macintosh.
the past couple years, APPLE (leader in innovation) has been PERFECTING wireless and dvd burning. of course it is time for the rat-pack to follow the pied-piper where they are leading computing.
hop on- and realize if you want tomorrows technology today, you buy apple. if you want yesterdays technology tomorrow, you buy windows.
when will those losers wake up and realize they innovate **NOTHING** except the blue screen of death (a concept foreign to mac- but innovated by M$)
$300 15" flat screen crap...

New iMac Announced

someone said they could get a $300 flat screen at compusa or somewhere.
LET ME TELL YOU THE DIFFERENCE.
fast-change pixels. without them, the screen is useless (like most cheap flats are) to play dvd's or quicktime movies without the 'GHOST' effect.
GO BUY YOUR CHEAP PIECE OF SHIITE. ***THEN*** you will find out the shortcomings, be $300 further from a real one, and stick your head in the sand yelling 'mine is just as good as a mac!!!!'
this refrain will sound familiar to anyone who has ever heard a peecee user debate a KNOWLEDGEABLE mac user.
the reason apple macs are a little more expensive is that you get a QUALITY product, engineered to work perfectly from the start as an integrated whole.
the only possible competitor in os wars, going forward, will be the new sony os, when it comes out. OS X is as far ahead of XP as mac gui was over DOS. (oh wait, i forgot the whole directory structure of XP was lifted right out of dos- but m$ SAYS there is no DOS underneath, and they WOULD NEVER LIE, WOULD THEY?)

good luck xbox suckers.
sucker...keep buying ms until they put YOUR industry out of business.
then cry to anyone you want.
by the way, how do you edit a digital video movie and burn it to dvd without a mac?
you dont! (at least not painlessly.)
