LOL... that's so funny set to chariots of fire! It really is cool to see how far things have come in such a short time. If i remember correctly the Mac was such a big deal cause up until this the best computer around was a commodore 64. So yeah something like 32x the memory and proccessor power of the next best thing was pretty impressive( I think some one else said it has 2048K of ram which sounds about right) Whether u like nostagia or not that little box is pretty much the first real "Personal Computer"(At least that could do much of anything useful) and ancestor to what you are probably viewing this page on right now .. Mac *OR* Windows

Don't forget people

Xerox created the 1st Graphical User Interface, Steve Jobs paid them a visit, Steve Jobs stole that Graphical User Interface. Enter Bill Gates...Bill meets Steve...Steve shows Bill and the gang the User Interface like a dumbass.

Microsoft becomes what it is today and Bill Gates becomes the richest man in the world.

Also....Apple is going to become much better when they switch from IBM processors to Intel. More people will have access to the Apple OS which is far more stable than Windows. Keep in mind that on Apple computers, viruses don't exist. anyone here seen Microsoft Windows Vista yet? A LOT of it is being straight ripped off Apple systems

I'll just quoute Steve Jobs

I love how Apple users always act like PC's suck and they know so much about computers. You can't even debate with them before they blow up on you and get pissy.

FACT: Windows current has 93% of the computer market
FACT: Apple has 4%
FACT: Unix/Linux has 5-6% of the market.

Thus making the MAC DEAD LAST! Is there a reason for this? Does the rest of the world just not get it?

And aside from computer, the prick Stever Jobs is such an arrogant pompass asshole it makes me sick. He acts as if he invented the Mouse (Xerox did) and he acts as if the iPod was his idea. It is a friggin Sony Walkman that reads MP3's, big fucking deal.

Steve Jobs has never made the top 50 philanthropists lists EVER. Yet he practically owns Pixar and Apple?

Bill Gates has been the #1 philanthropist for years.

ah nostologia...I remember those days...

concerning the mac/win war, I use windows simply because everything is compatible with it. Yes I know Macs got better graphics, but there's nothing worse than to find out about a really cool game or program only to learn that it isn't supported by your OS. And concerning errors, XP isn't as bad as with previous versions. And when things do go wrong, system restore is a life saver.

I love how people compare Apple, a computer maker, to Microsoft, a computer PROGRAM maker.

Sure, Apple's OS is more stable than Windows - but that is because it only supports a very limited number hardware configurations, made by a limited number of manufacturers.

Windows on the other hand has to be able to support just about any kind of hardware configuration made by a huge number of hardware manufacturers.

If Apple had won, and the IBM PC had been discarded, we would STILL be using that original Mac. Why? Because competition breeds innovation. The more hardware manufacturers there are competing in the marketplace, the more innovation that occurs. That is the very basis of the capitalist system - competition breeds innovation.

We havent even gotten into price! But the same holds true, the more competition, the lower the prices. That is why IBM PC compatible hardware is far cheaper than its Apple equivalent.

The fact is, if it wasnt for IBM, Microsoft, and the thousands of companies world wide that supported those standards, our computers today would not be much better than that old Mac.

That is why Apple computers are becoming more like a PC than the original Mac. They are trying to take advantage of the innovation that has occured SOLELY because of the IBM PC.
