Dual Processors
Forever, PC's have been in the shadow of Mac's, pulling up the
rear, and claiming to be number one. When it comes to
innovation, PC has lagged behind horribly, resting on their
monopoly while a small percentage of the world has always
known that Mac has and always will be the innovators, and the
superior product. Why doesn't the PC world try to innovate an
idea instead of trying to re-write Mac's established ideas. Mac
has had dual processors for about 4-5 years now. I am working
on one right now and about to upgrade to the latest one. By the
way, I also have a Dell, in fact I have two Dell's in the company
so we can see what the PC world sees, so I am not talking
blindly. No one in the company wants to work on the PC's they
have just become a window to check things on the internet, and
a tool when we have no other choice. Sincerely, a true
established Mac fan
