Miss Annette. Intel is currently shipping 600MHz processors compared to only 450MHz G4 processors from Moto. So speed cannot be the issue.

As far as benchmarks go, the G4 trails Intel processors in the industry standard SpecInt & SpecFP by such a wide margin that Moto doesn't even bother to report the scores.

specbench.org

So I ask. Just what are you referring to?

How can MAC owners be "pissed" at their own GOD ?

Sounds like blasphemy to me.

Perhaps these "pissed" MAC owners need to re-watch some older Apple commercials with steamrollers crunching some PC notebooks - then their MACs will seem much faster again.
