That's totally cheating because you've got got a PPC processor so its as good as like a P4 2.0.

I mean it's only fast because apple made the hardware AND the OS

no wait, it's because it has a unix back end - not windows so it doesn't have to be backwards compatible

or...shut-up! You can't run halo,...i mean unreal tournament 2k3,... i mean wolfenstien...er.

macs suck! LOLOL!!!!1!!!!one!11!11!

Now that we've got that our of the way, here's a shot of my workload right now (it's fairly typical):

On the "unimportant" monitor:

- iTunes going through the newest crystal method album (pretty good IMO)

- iChat serving up discussion of the above album

- Safari providing some light-weight tabbed browsing distraction

then center stage we have:

- iMovie tossing around 5gb of video like it's childs play - destined to hit iDVD tomorrow morning i think.

- an SSH window to my openbsd box to do some IRC

- emacs in hack-on-html mode

- mail waiting for incoming messages

Oh, and that's from an ancient sub-700mhz laptop with ~ 5 minutes of down-time in the last 2 months.

Yeah, I can't imagine what people do with dual 2.0 G5s.

LOL , I got ya beat. I got as far as this before my system started giving me the beachball. But it still never crashed, and I was able to close down all the apps with no problems. Notice that one of the things I'm running here is Windows 98 inside of Virtual PC!

Oh, and this is on the PowerBook Pismo listed below!!!

LOL! Look @ what my comment started! HA HA! Some people seemed to direct trolling comments towards me, which i found quite funny, it was merely an observation from a fellow Mac user. Maybe you overlooked my sig. Nevermind! Jaged - Yea i see what you're saying, I just never realized you guys actually went to any trouble to take a shot, not that, thats a bad thing. N/m!

LOL @ the Expos? Crew... even greater laughs @ the expense of the Windows Screenshot! Gotta love how Errr, easy now that is, to select an app, or even work out the amount of Windows open. It really does look quite a mess! :pp

[Si Veteran]

Decided to follow suit and open a few apps at once and see how things go:

Screenshot

Expos?'d

All the while, Garageband is running and playing with eight software instruments, iTunes is running and playing. Word, Mail, IRC, Unison (usenet), iPhoto.. well, you guys can see what's running. My point is this is all happening on a machine with 256MB of RAM and I'm not close to bogging it down yet. See the Terminal window in my first screenshot, load average is still only 0.64.

Expos? throws it around like it's nothing.

Can't wait to get my extra gig of RAM shipped from crucial.com, then I'll really see how much it can handle. Needless to say, there's no way a similarly specced Wintel machine could handle this without taking a serious dive. I've tried i:p:p
