Well, I'm still using my overclocked 486SX/25 (now at 33 MHz) with 16 MB RAM everyday. It's running a distribution built from scratch (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org) and it has got all the speed I need.
And PCs. Ohmygod, PCs are for both fags and geeks. Combining your worldview with mine that would be the worst of two worlds.

Is Mac OS X Slow?
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
..and now running Mac OS X 10.2.1 on a Powerbook G4 DVI 667MHz - yes, sometimes I find things slower than what I'm used to. Sure, browsing the web isn't as snappy as running Galeon was on my Thinkpad R30 Celeron 900 MHz. No matter which browser I now use. Internet Explorer is a lot slower, Chimera is quite a lot faster than the former but still not as snappy as, for example, Galeon. And, sure, running Java applications is still slow compared to the Windows equivavelt.
But still - it doesn't slow me down. I don't feel irritated because it would be slow. It's not something I think about. It doesn't bother me. It's not two words I connect. Mac OS X. Slow.
And, of course - define slow. Everyone will have a different opinion about this one. I'd say it's not slow because it's not slowing me down in my work.

No we don't.

Don't follow this link if you've got a faint heart.
I really shouldn't bother but the statement above is so fundamentally askew. In any western country and you'll find as repulsive behaviour.
And the dog-eating. What can I say? The anthropologist inside of me doesn't even now where to start..

Read that twice.

I would like to separate slow and not as snappy.
