"The Fastest PC On Earth" The G5 is coming (supposedly), but there's no reason to get excited, according to this article, even though it will rock amazingly hard. While I respect this writer's opinions, I have to disagree a little. While his points were valid a few years ago, and to some degree today, Apple does offer the once-fabled under-$1,000 Mac today. The G5 won't be for people who want that. The G5 will be for people who want the best machine on Earth. And, yeah, are willing to pay a little more to have it. Luxury items cost more, that's the way things work. The amount I paid for my G4 FP iMac would have bought a good bit of PC, but it wouldn't have compared. And it wouldn't have bought me anything like the iTunes, iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto package that came free with my computer. And that's not counting the maintenance I haven't had to pay for buying a Mac. Or the security of being able to not worry at all when new viruses are announced. Or the pleasure of sitting back and laughing every couple of weeks when a major new security flaw is discovered in Windows or Outlook.
