one lonely success

Last week, Apple Computer released the specs on their new G5 PowerMac. Sporting new 64-Bit IBM Power970 processors, SATA hard drives, PCI-X, and screaming FSB speeds, Apple has finally provided a hardware platform worthy to run Mac OS X. For the past few years, I have loved using Mac OS X in lieu of Windows, but always knew that I was sacrificing speed/performance for the sake of usability. Let’s hope that when these new PowerMacs ship that they deliver all they’ve promised.

On a related note, Rush Limbaugh weighed in on this topic (no pun intended) as reported on Chris Pirillo’s blog. Seems that Rush is a huge Mac fan (really, no pun intended). According to the conservative mouthpiece, “The G5 is going to go to 64 bits, and it’s going to change everything - which is why I’m so frustrated that this technology isn’t more mainstream. ”

Well, I agree that 64-bit computing will be the future of personal computing AND I wish that more users would see the benefits of Mac OS X, however, I see the release of the G5 as evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Rush goes on to imply that Apple’s lack of market share is directly related to their politics (Al Gore sits on their board). That statement just puts a smile on my face! So, it seems that liberal politics are keeping Apple computer from desktop dominance! Of course! It all makes sense now!

We’ve seen it time and time again, loyal readers. Companies appoint non-conservatives to leadership positions and all of sudden they are headed for financial ruin. Just look what happened to Enron…oh wait. Nevermind. Bring on the G5!

What are your thoughts on Apple Computers, Rush Limbaugh and the future of computing?
