Just to clear things up for you. The IBM RS/6000's, which runs IBM's AIX
Unix OS, uses the Power PC604, 604e, Power 2 , and the new 64bit RS64.

IBM's NT server family, Netfinity, use Intel chips.

So, all IBM servers do not run the same chips as the Mac.  By the way, the
Power PC was developed by Motorola, if I am not mistaken.

Thanks for clearing up that stale air, Eric!

The stuff this guy comes up with is amazing.

Ok, Mr. Esquire, let's cover this one a little further. IBM's servers run
the Mac PPC 602e? IBM's servers are not exactly top of the market kind of
stuff. Are you serious on this one?

When was the last time you saw a MAC running 4 processors? Never.

When was the last time you saw a MAC truly running multiple threads
simultaneously? Never.

I will agree with you for someone who doesn't want to know anything about
how a computer works, a MAC is a fantastic choice. But I would love to see
empirical evidence that a MAC is a more stable platform. Where does this
notion come from? What evidence do you have? I move to strike that comment
from the record. Council is basing his argument on an unsubstatiated claim
your honor...

MACs are fun little playthings that come in pretty colors. PCs are dynamic,
versatile machines that are the workhorses of the information age. Get your
facts straight Esquire....

"Game, set, match!"

Thank you, Eric and Walk.

Perhaps, Sweeney better stick with the law, though my bet is he doesn't
practice based on the title he bestows upon himself and his Indiana
University address.

Oops...I was right. The Indiana University web site indicates that he's a
third year law student. And already bestowing titles upon himself. Hey,
Brian! Passed the bar yet?

Any chance we could stop cross posting this discussion to r.a.s.n?

That's the point, genius. I spend all my time using my computer, not
learning how to use it.

You're really kidding, right? I mean, this isn't the first time you've
heard that Mac OS is more stable than Win95,98,NT, right? Tell me you
don't live in a solipsistic cave.

It's counsel, not council. This isn't a meeting of tribal elders.
Anyway, there's no substantiation to your argument, so might I also motion
to the bench?

And run twice as fast as any Pentium. I love colors, don't you, or do you
enjoy your bland conformity?

Dynamic? Verstaile? Does my insurance cover hospitalization for laughing
outbursts? You're running Windows, for Pete's sake. It's built on DOS.
That's dynamic and versatile? Your dynamism and versatility, to whatever
extent you have them, came as a result of Microsoft copying the Mac OS.
So, if your PC is "dymanic and versatile," and it is nothing more than a
pale copy of a Mac, what does this say about the Mac?

God, you PC drones never stop, do you? "Workhorse of the information age?"
God, this is funny. Macs are about 10% of the installed base yet comprise
most of the web servers and 40% of those accessing the web.

Workhorse, indeed.

Case dismissed.

Well, of course, a ***OS requires that crappy processor.

Yep. You're mistaken, as any PC automaton is. The Power chip was developed
jointly by IBM, Moto, and Apple.

Yep. Your accomplishments are? Anyway, I'd be very careful about checking
too much into people on the 'Net. Makes you a terrific candidate for
suspicion of violating stalking laws. Try therapy.

Really, you are a pathetic loser. Someone insults your impotent computer,
not you, remember, on the internet, and you conduct a personal
investigation on this person. You're mentally unstable as well as
computationally unstable.

How pathetic.

I agree. I think I would need to extend my pinky to reply to him :-0

What a blow hard Mr.ESQ is :-)

Who the hell is he anyway?

Can we get the gang on CNET to pronounce it during their next show?

But Counselor!
Windows versions 1 to 3.1, "95" (4.0) and "98" (4.1) work on top of
DOS. NT does not and never did. In fact, Windows '98 is the last
version that will sit on top of DOS.

Windows NT is built like the proverbial "Brick Privvy". When Windows
2000 (NT 5.0) becomes the *** desktop you Mac users will say:
"Why the F**k did I hop into the taxi that Buckshot is driving?!! -
Them Microsoft guys never seem to crash!"

And yes, NT is 4-5 times more stable than 98.
And Apple stole the GUI idea from Xerox PARC.

Many years ago, long before you were born, sport, I became accomplished at
recognizing the fact that few people appreciate those who bestow titles upon
themselves. Do you not realize that people find 'Esq." nauseating?
Incidentally, my dad was an assistant state Attorney General and in private
practice for over thirty years. My sister was editor of her law review, a
moot court participant, graduated third in her class, was in private
practice for ten years, and now teaches constitutional law. So I find your
"Esq." really distasteful.

I would have just shaken my head and ignored that were it not coupled with
your antagonistic rantings on subjects about which you clearly know little.
"Two to 3 times the speed of a Pentium"...Offer credible evidence
substantiating that claim, would you?

Your personality is so bizarre as to be interesting, I must confess. I had
to find out about this Esquire thing. I know IU Law is proud!

If you get out of school, I challenge you to bring that action. Oh, I
forgot...that's not what goes on in a hamburger stand.

4 out of 5 psychiatrists agree, if you're not in therapy now, you will be.

Too funny!

But,... yeah! You bet! Sweeney will be selling them for only $4.95 from his
T-shirt stand as soon as he washes out of law school or gets thrown out for
impersonating a lawyer. Based on the amount of time that he spends picking
fights here at r.a.s, and the representations that he makes while he is
here, that should be any time now.

Special volume discounts will available to r.a.s. participants.

Why? Afraid of something?
