Thats the best part of this Intel transition. Apple goes from forged Photoshop bakeoffs and debatable SPEC measurements to, "x86 is 4 TIMES FASTER THAN THE G4!!!!1111one"
This is really the only time in my life that I have ever felt any part of the time I wasted in the BF as having been validated. All those hours arguing that Apple was cooking the books for benchmarks..... have finally been vindicated

Thanks, Magus. That did indeed make sense.

I'm not sure on that. Though they are dual core processors.... and having dual core processors in a laptop makes me feel funny

Exactly. So the previous claims of Apple superiority can't be taken with the same grain of salt as the current claims. Have to use different grains. And what the hell, throw each of the different types of salt grains over a different shoulder. Just for kicks.

On a Friday the 13th probably a good idea.

I love Friday the 13ths. Just because so many people get all worried about them, and their worrying makes my day happier and better.
