I should have refrained, but its hard to resist the temptation to > slam Macs...:) (no offence to anyone who likes Macs, although I doubt many > FreeBSD'ers would use or like Macs) I agree, I didn't think any FreeBSDers liked Crapintoshes. My HP48GX runs faster and smoother. Hey HP, how about a port of the HP48 software to Crapintosh! HAHHAHA! Hey, here's an idea, lets setup an old 386 with 4 megs of RAM in a Crapintosh case, and setup FreeBSD on it, then install that window manager thats supposed to be like a Mac, we'd have the WORLD'S FASTEST MACINTOSH!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Ahhhhh, I feel better now. I hope I don't get banished off these mailing lists for this, but I had to say it. I don't have anything against *people* who use crapintoshes, I just can't understand why they would want to. Here's my major grievences: 1:) I've heard they're hard to upgrade. I've never tried, so this could be totally wrong 2:) Although I've heard that the PowerPC chip is *very* good (hey, it's made by Motorola and IBM, it's got to be at least pretty good!) Comparing same software on same price systems, and similar chip-clock-rate systems yields better results on IBM compatibles (my tests and my friends) 3:) Crapintoshes used to have superior graphing abilities. Not anymore. 4:) NO SHELL USE!!! AACK!! My friend (a Crapintosh supporter) says you can buy software for shells. Hmmmm....I've never heard of any. I really could go on for quite awhile, but I'll stop my whining now : )
