Oh yes , DMC I also forgot to tell you that I build network servers and windows trouble shooting . I also make a living building and rebuilding PCs because of there poor design and poor OS systems . Don't get me wrong , I don't want everyone to buy a mac , I like making money off of the PC people , and since they are such junk , my money train always comes in . The main reason Macs are faster is because # 1 they don't have up to 3 conflicting opertating systems ( I.E. BIOS , DOS , and windows ) , #2 superior processor instruction set and superior OS to drive processors and limit bottlenecking . #3 faster ram application and design . This is all not by mistake , they have always been this way from the 128k Macintosh all the way up . Parts for mac is more expensive , but they last longer . Most PC users pay people like me to super charge their PC just to get it to do what a MAC can right out of the box .
