You can buy : a multi-media P75 system for about $2K with monitor. What type : of Mac can you buy for $2K? One with a faster processor (same clock speed, faster real performance), a quad-speed CD-ROM, SCSI, and all of the stuff that comes with that "multi-media" PC (except the speakers) for about $1700. Add $100 for some speakers, and you save $200 by getting a Mac. Or you can get a Power Computing machine for the same $2000, but with a clock speed of 100 MHz (which means you blow the Pentium's doors off in several different ways). Or a slower Power Computing machine (just a bit faster than the P5-90 machines) for a bit less. You were saying? Let me sum up- Macs are cheaper now... -- Chad Irby / My greatest fear: that future generations will, cirby@gate.net / for some reason, refer to me as an "optimist."
