Are macs that good????

My friend is thinking about getting a new MAC G4, but he's going crazy about it. I have this arugement with him because he said:'

I strongly disagree what this statement. Maybe at photoshop, and that is pushing it in my opinion. What do you think?

A mac will nuke a PC, but there isn't as much software available. It's a catch 22

I always thought Machintosh and Apple were the same company. Am I wrong?

"We did a ton of testing the last two weeks while we were putting the demo together. The 733 G4 was not as fast as my 1 ghz PIII in any of the trouble areas. Apple is doing a lot of good work, but the CPU's just aren't as fast as the x86 ones."

There's nothing really different about linux on a mac comapred to x86. Although I find it interesting configuring linux for different archtectures. I would stick to x86s for everyday use because most of the programs have optimizations for x86. Although u can probably get x86 emulators for mac or other cpus, but still, I think x86 is the way to go.

If you want to play around with macs, buy some olders ones to play around with I think my buddy might have a SE/30 that you can have for cheap

Good point, their i/o has always been good (scsi,firewire,usb) That is probably why they were so much more expensive back in the day. Now they are at least comprable.
