Microsoft vs GM At a computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry. "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
I just bought (tonight) a powerbook. I've used PCs since 1998, and used Macs from about 1992-1998. So with that disclaimer, thats a pretty funny post, I think I've seen it before, at least in part, and if they would have just left out the vs mac part at the end (last one) it would have been great.
Macs are the best @ video Editing done, Congrats on the "I just bought (tonight) a powerbook."SNGX1275. I got this in an e-mail several months ago and modded it, tho the mac stuff was already there, I added # 2 & 3. I had one apple comadore thing that was very cool, though back then I did not know much at all. I have many friend that are MAC only, from what I've been seeing of MACs I need to take closer look.
WoW Well, I did take a closer look. It appears they are basicaly a PC. 17-inch TFT Display 1440x900 resolution 1.67GHz PowerPC G4 512MB DDR333 SDRAM 100GB Hard Drive ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (128 MB DDR) Backlit keyboard Gigabit Ethernet FireWire 400 & 800 Digital/analog audio DVI & S-Video out Dual link DVI If I didn't know I got that info from the apple store, I would've thought this was a PC laptop. Is it the OS2 that is so much faster and easier?
You're not going to go into this "whole experience" thing now, are you? :haha: j/k I haven't had the opportunity to jerk your chain in awhile.
ahh, it's the architecture that is different. macs have been evolving just like PCs, but along different paths.
anywhere out there that compares the speed (relative)between a PC and mac I know some about the market regards to price and speed forgetting other components for now. as I see a 400mhz mac still demands some cash where you can be hard put to give away a 400 mhz pc. I know I've tried.and if it is so effective what stopping electronic industry from going a better way.
Main difference between mac and pc is the cpu type. Mac uses Risc cpu(the type the ps2 and ps use) and Pc use Cisc. Risc does more opertions per clock cycle and don't need to be at a higher clock frequency. But also Risc needs more memory and space. So like a 30-40 gig harddrive for mac is equal to a 20 gig harddrive for pc. Probably why itunes converts mp3's into its own format.
