sure as hell.
well there is Tank (does not post much here, great guy tho) and some other good design fella's...
it would be great to have both Bio and you here, jox!
there will surely be well invested in Belgian beer brands!

f- yeah, if you want some brew there's no substitute.. Belgium *is* beer. We could even have special beer contests like "who can drink at least one glass of beer from more than 25 different breweries"
Bet it's a helluva nice city though, but I'm talking about the beeeeeer....
hahaa i can't wait! :D

G5 comparsion.
- Mario_Hugo0
And there is a lot to consider when you're picking up a G5.
1.)Get a dual, no questions asked.
2.)Stack the ram.
3.)Realize that benchmarks right now don't take advantage of recompiled software, aren't optimized, Panther reportedly gives a 30-40% performance boost to Mac machines, and most benchmarks do not turn off slewing.
The dual machine is a beast--and OSX romps windows imo. Mine is in the post come the 22nd of this month. :)

Example, new G5 dual benchmarks with optomized Photoshop code:

It wins 15/21 tests. :)

"The normalized score for the PowerMac G5 2.0GHz comes to 547, which gives it the highest (best) score out of all the other computers in the list, beating out a dual 3GHz Xeon (overclocked)."
That's just interesting. The optomized code runs quite a wild margin faster than it used to on the same machine. I don't really care--I use both platforms.

What about the G4 powerbook. In terms of mc vs pc laptops is it better to go with the powerbook?
- Hypo0
Yes. I used to own a "Power!-Mac" before the G series was released, when the time came for me to upgrade I decieded on getting a PC because of the flexability it has with software. Ive been useing a G4 a work here now for 2 years and when I go home back to the DELL the overall quality just aint the same, you loose that quality and sharpness you get on a Mac. ....If a MAc was a hifi it be a technics and a PC be a Tandy.

ru a plant or something of course you should if you're considering a G5-keep your old pc for games ....and buy a usb 3button mouse they work on macs too
