The new Mac
- The operating system is what gives a computer its personality. Apple has created four different Macs with four completely different personalities.
- In the computer industry, a new product must be at least four times as good as the previous version or it will not be accepted (or needed.)
- The NEXT STEP Macintosh (both PowerPC and Intel versions) are a tremendous improvement over Macintosh OS 9. The first few versions of Mac OS X were a bit rough and even the current verison could have some rough spots fixed. But overall, Mac OS X is such a huge improvement that few people still use the old system.
- A new path
- The Intel Macintosh is not the same as the PowerPC Macintosh. Both are called Mac OS X but these are totally different computers and different operating system. If you are a very conservative person, you will still wait a few more months before you buy the Intel Macintosh. (The amount of available software is the weakness.)
- More later...
