More advocacy: The ol' gray PowerBook IS what she used to be
Tim Murray
the end of the day I realized I've never had Windows hold together like that.
It was like James T. Kirk calling to Scottie "more power" and Scotty
answering "she'll break apart, captain!" but then the power comes anyway.
I was running Photoshop, Illustrator, MacPAR, Hogwasher, Acrobat Pro,
Distiller, Word, Graphic Converter, iTunes, Mail, Safari, Excel, and others,
just merrily chugging along, everyone playing nice. iTunes would stutter if I
distilled a file *and* reassembled a PAR *and* ran some filter on a big TIFF
at the same time, but what do I expect, it's only a wee 1.67 GHz.
Right next to it was my wife's even older 1 GHz PowerBook, with 1 GB RAM, of
the pre-two-finger-scroll era, and I was churning away things on it too. (By
the way, the thing is bent. The whole thing. Close the lid and draw a line on
the lid from the right rear corner to the center of the front face, where the
latch is. Now, imagine holding down the main unit but bending upward on the
front right corner about a quarter inch, and bending both the lower main
chassis and the screen's chassis. Yeah, that's bent.)
Hell, I've seen Windows so-called scream machines collapse under a load far
less than that. The office machines can't run Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook
all at the same time for more than five minutes without a reboot, and my
neighbor kid with his tricked-out Dell can't run that many simultaneous apps
either.
Where I'm going with this has to do with threading. Now, I used to program
back in the days of Turbo Pascal but I've been on the user end since then,
and have not kept up with the ins and outs of multithreading, hyperthreading,
multitasking, hyperventilating, and so on, but I have heard jabs being
directed at Apple; that they're not doing it so well, and at the core,
Windows does it better.
Well, to those people, all I have to say is "bite me." When the rubber meets
the road is where it counts, and in years and years of running Windows, many
times on cutting-edge machines, and only running Macs here and there until
recently, my Mac experience -- and by experience I'm referring not to the
length of time used, but to the feeling -- is the one that's shown to be most
stable in the multiapplication area. It is far and away more satisfying than
my Windows experience.

Bull. My 3 year old Dell with 1 gig of ram and a 2.6 GHZ P4 runs
Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint, Agent, makes PDF files, and plays
audio, all at the same time, and the audio never stutters. Windows XP
has never needed rebooting due to OS or application errors.
Tell your IT person to upgrade those old P2 Win 95 machines.

not only believable, but true.
i think it's funny to watch recent switchers with the bad habit of
"quitting" a program, or even worse is they will "wait" for a program to
stop doing something before "they" do something else. that's ABSURD on
OSX, you can run 10, 20 programs or even more all at the same time and
flip between them with ease. windows chokes on this, and their users
have learned bad habits as a result. shame on microsoft.

Yes, a 9-minute boot is atypical and absurd. But you tacked on the "not
really that believable" right behind where I specifically referred to "the

While there are trolls who will say otherwise, really, those in CSMA who
have been here a while know full well I am, as I say, honest and honorable.
Heck, even the trolls have given up trying to show any examples otherwise
with me... the "best" they can do is run to allegations from years ago -
even though the one who they claim has "proof" of my wrong doing was
recently caught red handed *dishonestly* spewing the same, but new,
allegations against me.
If that is their best evidence against me, well, even they clearly know they
are just making stuff up.

Because you are one of many Wintrolls who are cheesed off at the fact
that Macs are superior to PCs.
What reason would I have to lie about my Macs? Does the truth about my
mighty Macs bother you that much?
If you were not jealous of Macs, you would post in Windoze groups.

nope, murray just wrote the facts out as he seems them, and i concur.
you have to remember we live in a more modern technical world than you
do. when we see windows users limping along, we look to reasons why, and
more often than not, "windows" has damaged them, they are less
productive since they come from an old technical world.
it's just funny, someday you'll get a mac and see why we get to smirk

So let's be honest here. You are comparing a relatively new PowerBook
running the latest Mac OS with 2 gigs of ram with a P3 running an 8
year old OS and likely much less than 2 gigs of ram.

Sorry. I've used Macs, even ones with Tiger. They're still
backasswards PITAs to use. Now unlike you Maccies I'm putting that
down to my lack of familiarity with the system instead of saying that
means the system is defective. I'm sure I could learn it. Of course
that fact that I actually need to learn it cuts a big hole in a lot of

You're a fine one to critique Tim, since you don't have a Mac, much less a
