My favorite personal computer...

Personally I'd like to see the PPC get the same development as x86 CPUs and so we could have 3GHz PPCs in our Amigas. but since that ain't gonna happen, G5 is good enough for me as well. Pity that isn't gonna happen either, not this end of the decade anyway...

Well, PPCs as fast as the latest x86 competition, clock speed aside :-)

Games aside, which I've not overly bothered about personally, as long as I get reasonable performance for the apps I generally use, office-type apps, email, web browsers, then no problems personally.  Except for games, the only time I notice my CPU (My PC) being one of the bottlenecks is for RAR compression.

I doubt I'll ever be completely without a PC, because of my business being to do with sysadmin, but hopefully this'll be the last PC upgrade I have to do for a few years at least.

The main thing that worries me about moving completely over to AmigaOS when OS4/A1 arrives is the lack of a decent [up-to-date] web browser.

Let us hope an Amizilla port for MOS/OS4 will be easier than the classic Amiga port

The apple mac G5!!

what a load of crap macs are compared to the cheaper and much more powerful pc .My pc could leave any mac standing they have a small amount of software are no good for upgrades and are worth nothing when selling seconhand .Apple,s look good but whats looks without power.

what on earth

what the hell do you base all that on?

While I think Apple computers are expensive, they have power, the Dual 2GHz 64bit G5s would leave my mono-32bit 1.4GHz pentium 4 in the dust. And software, lets see I use Opera, vIRC client, Starcraft, Adobe Photoshop, Star Office, and KaZaA.

Macs have E-mule, something called Limewave or somethin, Starcraft, Safari, Adobe Photoshop, Star Office (I believe), Microsoft Office if not Star Office, and IRC clients are a dime a dozen, I could use CGI IRC off this website for all it matters.

Don't get me wrong, I'd like to have one of these baby's more than anything, but right now the Mac, nor Amiga is really an option for the lower-middle class like me. Of course maybe some of you calling me a Pentium lover would like to buy me this!?!? I'll video tape me kicking the crap out of my PeeSea and send you the parts if you do that, I promise!

Well, I never liked macs. On the other hand, that may have been the fact that I haven't spended much time in front of one. But the features that the new version of Mac OS X brings, made me reconsider what computer I am going to get next.

It's easy. I will get a G5. I like what I see, and speed isn't that important to me (so what if P4's are faster, its the fun of computing I want, and Mac OS X seems like fun.) For example, did you guys see the Xcode application? Really nice. And all the other little nifty things that I see as really intuitive. It's Amiga OS mentality all over the place.

Not that I'm abandoning the Amiga, I will save money for one of those too but now the G5 has priority.

That was my two cents. (now its only $2999,98 left to save up to.  :-D )
