OT: lango, no good on PC w/IE either, no surprise there
I have to say that since I've been forced to use nothing but a PC 8 hours a day for over two months, my macs (G4 and G5, running Tiger) as sooooooo much better at everything I do.
They are faster on the web even though work has a faster broadband connection, they are way... way faster in Word and Excel... and Acrobat Pro on XP is a horrible experience...
I was hoping that I could talk work into letting me buy and bring in my own MBP and use it just to demonstrate to them what I meant... instead they went out last week and bought me a Dell Optiplex GX620, 3Ghz Pent-D with 2 gigs of ram XP Pro... and it is a dog even compared to my old G4 Dualie file server... IE, Word, PP, Excel, all unbelievably slow as becomes very apparent when I get home and do some things on my G5.
I may have to get that MBP anyway and bring it in just to show everyone side-by-side, no way to hide... the thing I really don't get is that none of the software I am required to use is Windows-only (using Outlook for mail, etc.) and only one app in the entire company is Windows-only -- one that we use to program our products and requires 32-bit Windows.
I am really surprised at the noticeably slow performance of this supposedly fast Dell.
