The IT sup****t for Mac is not so perfect as you state (neither is the
Windows...). I know both chip designs and I know you can't always trust
the numbers of the benchmarks, but when a dual G5 is losing of a single
P4, I am starting to get worried. Anyway, running our own applications
on both systems (both single CPU, P4 vs. G5) performance is still in
favor of the P4, no matter how much you hate Intel.

Yeah and what are the specs of the Mac Mini? I like the case though ;-)
In Europe, the prices of Mac systems are much higher than in the USA.
That is also a reason why their sales are decreasing here rapidly. On
the other hand, Mac has never been here as big as in the USA. Only in
the graphics industry it was very common, but that is also ****fting.
