Not sure whether to cry or laugh

This is a post I found on a Mac forum:
"I thought that pcs were much more powerful than macs i thought ha they are still just on 800mhz, hah we have 1.8ghz I thought. Until I talked to a macintosh specialist at a store he told me everything just how much more powerful and more usable they are and how they came out with everything first. The man showed me the new G4 which he told me is 72% more powerful than intels 2ghz and they never lock up, i was in awe. Ive been wrong all these years, after playing around with it for a while the system began to become flawless. But I still not use to some of the things like one button clicking no sub menu so the man told me they have something called vitual pc witch allows you to run windows 98 on your computer! I was amazed, I relized this is the best darn computer ever made. Whos with me!"
No wonder peops use Macs! They have no real knowledge of comps. 72% faster my ass. I posted a few times on that forum, and it suddenly became apparent people weren't very familiar w/ the technicalities of computers- not even FPU, IPC, etc! The best they could tell me why a mac was better is that it looked and felt better! bah!

the first cellerons will proly come out at around 1.8ghz... and use crippled 0.18 micron willie cores. use em up thats for sure.

No I wouldn't have. My comp is now over 1.4 years old now, and it'd woop that system.

*sigh*

Ok.

Well that was very enlightening. Although, it sounds like the guy went home happy.

On a little side note, I have *VERY* fond memories of the Apple IIgs and Imagewriter II...

Don't buy the TNT2... better take the Voodoo Banshee or the GeForce2 MX200.

With a hovering case crashing takes a whole new meaning... .

*Warm fuzzies about the TRS-80 Model 4...waaaaay back in '84*

Remember when a floppy was ACTUALLY FLOPPY? I've still got a few BASIC apps around somewhere that I made on it.
