    Gee, lighten up, any reason why you're so cranky about this?

    Well, what did you say that could be called offensive? You made a claim that didn't make much sense, than changed it after people called you on it, and later said it was just a wild guess which was "completely rational" because you'ld "do the same thing". You call for an objective test, which means nothing more than a test where the Mac doesn't come out ahead. You even doubt that there are no "winzealots who don't live in Redmond". You repeat the same old claims about how Apple cheated on the benchmarks even after they had been proven false. And you lack humour - that's the worst part.

    Gee, why are you MAC whiners all so defensive? - Because you Wintrolls are all so offensive.

    As for your yet unsuported claim - it must be tough to be you.

    Sure. Adobe is going to sabotage a product that makes about half the money on the PC (before we go into support issues). They do this by not allowing Intel to put several of their engineers on the task and also not doing more improvements themselves.

    IOW, the PC fanboys are just going to claim that SPEC was "developed natively for the mac".

    IBM does improve gcc. But sometimes it's easier and faster to just build a new cathedral than to try fix the bazaar. Esp. when the dudes from the bazaar talk endlessly about how the improvements don't fit in and are only good for parts of the bazaar.

    Well, I actually meant that more in a mind-trick kind of way - it's all about conception. But anyone using VBA in Excel is lost - and not only to other spreadsheet apps ;-)

    Well, if it doesn't have all functions of Excel, you can't load all Excel worksheets. So you don't have a full, compatible replacement for Excel. If it didn't have all functions, it would be just a "me too" wannabe.

    8GB is the limit given by RAM modules available today. AFAIK all Macs made for quite some time could also fully utilize bigger RAM modules (if principal addressing didn't change), even if Apple never updated the info. At least in that respect Apple has always been conservative.

    With our searches we are encountered the following connections: The failed Niagara power station belongs too national to Grid the USA . This power supplier is specified as a reference customer of Northern Dynamics. This company calls itself as "Home OF the OPC Experts" and offers a set of products, which use OPC for communication with control and control systems.

    OPC stands for Process control "for" OLE for and touches down on Microsofts COM/DCOM model. That is however exactly the technology with the safety hole, which the worm W32.Blaster uses. In a net, in which this worm is active, malfunctioned due to the regular restarts, which observe now final users also concerned with their PCS, DCOM communication and concomitantly OPC on ungepatchten systems.
