I just realized that my Apple G4 DP (2*1.25MHz) hasn’t been turned on for over 2 weeks now. The reason is two fold, it is too loud and it generates so much heat that it gets overheated in the closet. Come on Apple, make better hardware.
Performance wise, I have made some comparisons between the Apple Tower DP and a Intel 2.8GHz machine and the PC is more than twice as fast on almost all operations including graphics programs, CD to MP3, games (they have identical graphics cards). MacOSX is great but it doesn’t work to well in a mixed Windows and Apple environment. Just to much things that take longer than necessary to accomplish.
I am an Apple Un-Switcher!
