As one of the youngest school directors in Pennsylvania, I know the importance of technology in schools. Wireless network access is becoming increasingly vital as we become more mobile. I cannot believe that the lawyers think they have a case, as they are probably not digging into the matter all that much. As someone mentioned above, you might as well stop using anything else that emits any sort of waves, as those are just as harmful as 802.11x, which is practically nothing, or the FCC would probably not allow it to be commercially developed. Hopefully a judge laughs at the attorneys and those who are trying to impose this, and that this probably goes away. However, I would probably think that this is not the last we have heard of it.
Do not forget, the G5 has 64 bit processing while everything else has 32 bit processing. You cannot draw the same comparisons. Wait until there is a 64 bit processing for the P4 or AMD processor, then compare.
My post was criticizing the fact that people are arguing over things that really have yet to been varified by the people who matter the most. The consumer. Of course the various businesses are going to be throwing out all sorts of claims. If the claims are false, then the consumer will deal out the punishment. If they are true, then the consumer will give the reward. People on here are just going off on what is better, yet they will not know for themselves until later this year, when they can decide for themselves. I use a Mac at work and I use a PC at home, and they both suit my needs just fine for the environment that I use them in. If people would just grow up and wait and see for themselves what is better, then these debates can be ended. Besides, it is pointless to critique something that you only know about because someone stood on a stage and talked about it. Wait and see for yourself what this is all about, and then make your judgement.
I do not see what the big uproar about all of this is. Perhaps Apple tweaked their system to make it look better. Maybe they disabled a few things in the Dell system. If they did that stuff, then it is a shame that they had to resort to doing that. However, I really do not care who is faster. If it takes me 2.56 seconds to open a program on one system and 2.57 seconds on the other, does that matter to me? No! So please people. Grow up, and realize that there are always going to be new hardware and software out and somethings will run better on different systems. So please, try to act your age and quit arguing about what is better before people have a chance to compare things for themselves.

What is wrong with myself bying things by my criteria and you buying things by your criteria?
