AS far as speed comparisons, a buddy of mine has 5 Sun systems, (he likes computers) one is a 120 MHz (in that range) Sun system, he put it up agaist his friends Dual P200 machine, and the Sun blew its doors off.
The PROBLEM with the entire tech sector is that we have a bunch of HARD SCIENCE folks that did not pay attention in economics class. SPEED does not matter, BETTER does not matter, MORE quality DOES not matter, all that matters is SUPPLY vs. DEMAND, if people want garbage, give them garbage, Microsoft understands this concept, IBM did not, APPLE did not, SUN does not, Remember one of the top ten laws of computing, the machine is WORTHLESS, the software you BUY to RUN on it is what you should make your decision on, lets see when I walk into my local wal-mart I see ALOT of WINDOWS software, NO APPLE, NO SUN, NO UNIX, NOTHING but WINDOWS EVERYWHERE, technology ALONE is not enough, it never has been and it never will be and as long as people believe in that LIE the billster will continue to crush the superior product HANDS DOWN. Simple economics and marketing. HAIL to the great cornholio. |
