MacVoyer: I'd put it the other way - the Mac is for people who've had too much experience of system tweaks and driver issues, and are thoroughly sick of the whole counterintuitive, nerd-friendly shower. [ 04-03-2002: Message edited by: Guit…

I don't think performance VS a p4 is a great benchmark really; the p4 is engineered to run at high clock speeds first, and for performance second; the AMD is a better comparison not least because the architecture is closer to the PPC. <---…
