Hey, so that's where all you PC Clowns hold your meetings!

I have decided to devote a series of posts to the GREAT quotes from your
"TRUTH" about Macintosh site:

<<tittering in the background at how low PC advocates have to go to
criticize the Mac>>

_______________________

#1) "News flash: PC Magazine conducted a series of in-depth benchmarks to
see whether the iMac was "Twice as fast as a Pentium II/400". The results
are in and the iMac lost! Click here to check it out."

EZ RETORT: Geez, the LIES start right on the first line. Who the hell is
being quoted here? NO ONE EVER SAID the iMac was "Twice as fast as a
Pentium II/400." Someone has a hearing impairment. I clearly can hear
Apple saying "up to twice as fast," can't you? And they aren't describing
any iMac in that ad. They are talking about the G3 PowerMac, which run at
considerably higher speeds than the iMac. The iMac is the LOW END Mac.
Understand?

TRUTH: There is an article I posted below which shows a REAL claim about
the iMac versus a PII 400. I dare your precious web mom at 
<http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Sector/9295/index2.html>
to disprove it.

And THANKS for the FLAME FODDER! Your Pro-PC site is the best support I've
ever seen for my PC Clown theories! I suggest EVERYONE visit there for a
good laugh, if not outright justification for every claim I have made here
about the insincerity of so many PC advocates. 

You should also note that PC users, as ever, like to call the competition
between the Mac and PC a "religious war." Obviously that is total
nonsense. It is a war of quality perception. 

Background: I've worked on PC machines professionally since 1988. I like
PCs so much that I just bought my SIXTH Macintosh: the incredibly
inexpensive and capable G3 Series PowerBook 233. And yes, it does Windows,
when I feel masochistic.

     Apple's iMac Faster Than Fastest PC

     iMac 40 Percent Faster Than a Pentium II, 400 Megahertz

     CUPERTINO, California--Aug.13, 1998--As thousands of iMac
     computers arrive at retail outlets throughout the U.S. and
     Canada in preparation for its debut this weekend, Apple
     Computer, Inc. announced that final performance results are in.
     As expected, iMac is 40 percent faster than the fastest PC and
     its processor is more than twice as fast as processors in
     comparable consumer PCs, based on BYTEmark testing.

     "The iMac for $1,299 toasts the fastest PC money can buy at any
     price--the Pentium II 400," said Steve Jobs, Apple's interim
     CEO.

     A customer would have to pay almost twice as much for a Pentium
     II-based PC , which would still be 40 percent slower than iMac.
     Its processor performance at a price of $1,299 is faster than a
     Pentium II, 400 megahertz PC with a 15-inch display and an
     estimated street price as high as $2,400.

     The processor in iMac is more than twice as fast as the
     processor in comparable consumer PCs, based on the BYTEmark
     integer test. This test measures a computer's ability to perform
     productivity tasks. This means consumers will be able to blaze
     through projects such as managing their checkbooks in Quicken or
     finding clients in a database using FileMaker Pro. iMac has a
     score of 7.8, compared to 5.6 for a Pentium II running at 400
     megahertz, and a paltry 3.2 for a Celeron 266 megahertz
     processor which is featured in entry-level PCs at prices
     comparable to iMac.

     With built-in100MB Ethernet and a 56KB modem, iMac provides the
     fastest connectivity available anywhere. iMac combines
     simplicity, style and incredible speed at a price-point perfect
     for consumers.
