[geeks] RE: Reevaluating Macintosh (was Dual Xeon vs Dual G4)

[Joacim Melin]

As a sr. test editor for a networking/computer magazine, I have to 
disagree.

Here is two examples, one of a company trying to get their stuff into 
the press, and one of a company that's tries but not that hard since it 
isn't their core business :

a) Monday, January 2003, phone rings : Dell asks if I'm interested in 
reviewing a new NAS system.
Wednesday, January 2003, phone rings : Dell asks if I'm interested in 
reviewing a new server system.
(and this goes on and on with the other major players in the server 
market as well...)

b) Tuesday, August 2002, phone rings : Apple asks if I want to review 
the XServe.
(and this is all I've heard from them when it comes to servers...)
