And finally, I hear of internet content consultants scrapping their Macs with the next upgrade.
This is nonsense. Web content shops generally use different machines for different tasks. Macs dominate among the designers. PCs dominate among the office staff/managers. And the developers are usually either PC or UNIX (Linux or Solaris), depending on the shop. It's very rare to find a designer who doesn't use a Mac, and that's not changing.
It's equally nonsense, though, what someone said about Macs making good servers. They don't. They'll function as file servers for a small office, but for large uses or for Web serving they get killed by NT, and destroyed by UNIX. So that article that said Apple's new server line won't make much difference is quite accurate. That will change with Rhapsody, however. In fact, as far as Web development goes, Rhapsody could be put into use across the board--for design, development, and serving.
