Can't you see its a "Ha Ha" funny joke, not a troll?
I would say its a jab, a slice of life, a humorous observation that whenever the topic of speed comes up, people start bringing up off the wall subjects that start the flames about OS(s).
(Besides, a G5 would actually beat a i386 in audio processing anyway - better pipes)
How can a few people comment on this saying that an emac would cost as much as a Linux Box (hmm, maybe one using OS 9, yes, lets all buy new hardware that can only run programs 6 years old). (Do people even know what a SUN ray is?)
Hey, WHOEVER thinks that the author WANTS to get a brand new DELL and FLATSCREEN for everybody?, obviously doesn't know what a thin client is. Maybe this word is hard for Mac users to understand, "Thrifty".
If I needed a pickup truck to haul stuff, and I asked who I should rent from. You mac users would be telling me to go out and BUY a Brand new Cadillac SUV. Then when I ask, "Is this going to get done what I need" You'll be like, "hmmmm, what was it you needed? Haul stuff? NO, you shouldn't haul stuff, you might scratch it! It looks pretty Though ^_^
No one is telling you to not buy one, but that shouldn't be your suggestion to every question. (ie. (Slashdotter) I want a cheap terminal emulator for my windows PC, [Mac User], "You Should BUY a Mac", -no actual thought involved-)
