Tenchusatsu, <The only problem I have is with Steve Jobs, who is spreading propaganda and feeding off of the cult-like mentality of Mac fanatics. To those guys, credibility is not a burden that Steve must deal with, but the rest of us may feel differently. So while PowerPC G4 may indeed be faster than the fastest Pentium III or Athlon out there, we definitely can't take Steve's word on it.> So, why is this (credibility and propaganda aspects) different from what Intel did with Celeron/PII/PIII? Jobs is marketing the hell out of whatever little advantage he sees. Intel or any other company would do the same. Chuck
