[geeks] Dual Xeon vs Dual G4

[Andrew Weiss]

I did the same thing with my G3, and I did that when OS X was Rhapsody 
DR1 after playing with OPENSTEP 4.2 and shortly after Jobs came back.  
I was done with hacking PC's together with spit and chewing gum and 
still not getting a satisfactory experience... Hello 8 year Apple Loan 
($120 a month for a top of the line machine "highest config on the 
Apple store")... the only thing that peeved me slightly were:

1. Next month or so my machine was $1000 cheaper and they had the 
450... oh well.

2. When they temporarily tried to discontinue DVD player support on the 
older G3's with hardware DVD.

OS 9 does suck, but I decided that all the Classic MacOS's even with 
coop multi-tasking run better than any of the DOS based Windows 
versions.  As long as you don't use the MS libs, they don't tend to 
crash either.  I.e. if you only launch Adobe and Quark apps all day 
long they can stay up for many days.
