RE: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] reading through Apple's marketing speak...

["Ross, Matt" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

That's well worded.  I can't find anything wrong with it.  Granted, no
floppy, but we're seeing that on PC's now too.  Not too many ports (2
firewire, 2 USB - PC's usually come with 4 USB, and 2 firewire), but it
seems very accessible.  What really caught my attention was: "Ultrafast L3
Cache Feeds data to the G4 processors at up to 4GB per second".  Does any PC
do that?  Some other notable features: GUI RAID management, onboard dual
monitor support, modem and eithernet cards are built in, good sound card
built in.

In short, I think they're better than comparable PC's.
