[ale] Ummmmm Apple

[Christopher R. Curzio]

Doubtful, considering the Dual 3.06 GHz Xeon they had running next to the
Dual 2GHz G5 got *spanked* in the tests they ran. (Photoshop, Mathematica,
etc.) The G5 is a 64-bit monster, too. 

Plus, they spec'd out a comparable Dell system and ended up at something
like $4100 or thereabouts compared to the Dual 2GHz G5's $2999 tag. 

Note: I'm not an Apple fanatic, but I really like my new iBook. :)
