Yup, thats him

Ive heard that Mac's are the way to go for hard-core video editing and graphics work. Thats probably why he was using one.

The G4 is a powerful machine. Its just to bad Apple has never opened their API so developers like me can build software for it without having to go through hell to write it.

You dare get me started???? :evillaugh muahoohahahhaha


The G4 processor is a killer machine! We're talking graphic speeds that outperform the Pentium 4 by tenths of a second (and that's pretty big)...

I won't even let myself go on!

Nopers! A quick reload of the HD and an errasure of the Perameter RAM and she's back!!! (now if only I could figure out why all the windows are bigger than before!!! *lmao*)

edit: besides, she's only an early model G3 processor running MacOS 9.0!

I think that's an overstatement.... Last I heard was that Microsoft corp. owned considerable amounts of Apple Stock....
