--Now wait a minute.. *growl* I wish I had that copy of PC Magazine handy.  They 
did a comparison of the PPC's and Pentiums.  Some operations the PPC did faster, 
and others the Pentium did faster.  My recommendation is if your graphics 
oriented.. go PPC, if your anything else.. go Pentium.  Whatever anybody 
says..there are advantages to both, and you should buy your system according to 
what you want.  I believe the PC Magazine issue was an issue from summer 95'
