SGI V MAC [Posted on 2004-02-05]
I have had a chance to use both PC, Mac and SGI . I have done 3D Animation on all 3. SGI is the best of the group. If you want a PC with power and very few crashes you should run AMD with linux.I can not recomned a Mac. It has made false clamis of performance it is not as fast
as AMD 64 or as fast as SGI.
The G5 does not support Virtual PC [Posted on 2004-02-13]
The G5 does not support Virtual PC. If you want to run dual operating systems, do not buy this computer!
Mac g5 is the way of the future [Posted on 2004-03-10]
a seemless system. I'm sure ther are some windows fans who honestly believe that a window machine and all the stability that is sacraficed is the best but once you truly get to know this machine you will never be able to go back to the countless crashes, poor functionality, joke of a plug n' play windows world. Buy some extra ram to eally start seeing the speed of this machine. It takes a lot more ram than most people are used to installing and once there is more in the machine the obvious superiorty of UNIX and Mac become apparent.
Apple G5 is an excellent computer [Posted on 2004-05-04]
The Apple G5 is an excellent computer which doesn't have any of the problems on the Windows/PC platform, namely Microsoft Viruses, Trojans and Worms. Someone did label the Apple G5 as the "Ferrari of Computing", an apt description.
Superfast and beautifully executed machine [Posted on 2004-09-18]
This machine is absolutely the most pleasant computer to use...and as an IT director in an architecture firm I've used many a system over the years! Apple's Mac OS X Panther is truly superb on so many levels: more secure than Windows, far more stable a system, and much easier to figure out even complicated tasks. Apple does a brilliant job making hard things easy.
Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of all -- and one I think outweighs the pain of some missing Windows-only software -- is the fact that Macs don't catch viruses. And malicious "spyware/adware'? Forget about it, those bad guy miniprograms don't run on the Mac. The Internet feels just like it did back in the days before viruses were a plague like they are today...only much faster of course.
In order to converse with my Windows-dominated office, I got Microsoft Office for Mac (latest version). Many experts think it's better than the Windows version. I think it's a toss-up. Word, Excel, Outlook, typical office stuff all work fine in Windows World. So does online banking with Apple Safari browser -- which is way cooler than Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Best of all, Apple's digital iLife Suite of applications have no competition in the Windows world. Think of iTunes on Windows and think of that for digital movies, digital pictures, dvd creation, etc etc. If you know how great iTunes is you know what I'm talking about. Apply that to the rest of your digital life and you'll soon realize that computing doesn't get any better than this.
A very happy Apple customer.
