    If you weren't buying a pretty paperweight that can't do more then just pretty graphics, I'd help you out. But I don't like contributing to the decline of society.;P

      From apple.com: Ready for the real world The PowerPC G5 processor dramatically accelerates performance in real world applications, too. When compared head-to-head against the same PCs, in a large series of Photoshop tests the dual 2GHz Power Mac G5 is 2.2 times faster than the 3GHz Pentium 4-based system and almost twice as fast as the dual 3.06GHz Xeon-based system. Additional performance tests tests reveal similar performance gains for professional music and audio creation, and scientific analysis of genetic research. From apple.com: Bandwidth to burn The Power Mac G5’s ultra-high bandwidth system architecture features a 1GHz frontside bus — one on each processor — for maximum throughput. And a point-to-point system controller lets data move directly between subsystems, without affecting processor function. From apple.com: Designed for whisper-quiet operation The Power Mac G5’s enclosure houses four discrete thermal zones to compartmentalize the primary heat-producing components. Fans in the zones spin at very low speeds resulting in a system three times quieter than the Power Mac G4. I want one! :cool: Jeremy Falcon

                                      Salmon is party a bio about Douglas, mostly told through his own words in the form of interviews and articles. The second part is an unfinished story. I've read the first part, which I thought was pretty great as I really didn't know much about Douglas. I haven't gotten to the second part yet. --Mike-- "So where does that leave us?

                                        Douglas Adams swore by his Macs. He also swore at them frequently, but still, he loved them. Anyone else read Salmon of Doubt?
