Did you mean all visitors of MacExpo 2003 New York? All of
them saw how G5 had failed in Photoshop. We told this to
an Apple representative; we showed him where and how
and it looks they optimized 10.3 for G5 after this.

If you did not get the point of the previous post too ? take a
look:

The owners of two B&W G3 had to spend more than $500
each/Mac in order to get OX 10.2 upgrade.

It means that OX 10.2 upgrade was more than $630 (500
MHz G4, 32 MB Video Card and OS 10.2).

Thus, the real cost of Apple OS X 10.2 is $630 (for B&W G3
owners). Those people do not need more than a word
processor and Internet and G3 OS 9 was enough to do
those tasks. But Apple cheated them that 10.2 would run
OK on B&W G3. They believed Apple and ... not anymore.
They cannot return OS 10.2 on B&W G3 smoothly, that?s
why they decided to buy an upgrade.

It should be called as unfair practice.

Pentium II 133 MHz Windows 95 can run MS Word 97,
Internet and even Photoshop smoothly (I guess 20 times
faster than B&W G3 350 MHz, OX 10.2).

Now,

How many PC parts you can buy for $500-630?

And

Compare speed of the upgraded PC vs. the upgraded B&W
G3? (if you can open your eyes, of course)

P.S. Do not forget ? people do not know how to grow
money on trees. If you know how ? please, share it.
