I have to agree to some degree with you. Games on the mac do suck for
the reasons outlined above. However for professional use such as using
photoshop and Quark Express etc., the mac does not suck. At my college
we have 2 computer rooms. One full of PCs and one full of macs. In the
mac room you find people doing their work. Typing, graphics and stuff
like that. When you go into the PC room, you find about 8 people playing
quake. I belong to both of these groups at different times.
