I still think that at least for now, PC is still the machine of

and such, I guess it's like eating Bluefish. It' good
"IF"...!!! If you have to say "if" or "can" well, you get it I
think Just easier to use the PC in my opinion. My point of view is
from the perspective of a small IHP... Unix, Linux, Apache. Home
systems are XP and I run Vista just to stay informed for customer
support reasons. Our backups are also Linux boxes.

Oh yeah, we run mods that allow us to handle ASP in case anybody is
foolish.. oh, oh... I better stop now

If you are running PC apps under an Apple Microsoft OS emulator, you are
taking a performance hit, period.

If by "Apple Microsoft OS emulator" you mean Bootcamp, that's not what
it is. Bootcamp is basically an idiot proofed hard disk partitioner.
Installing and running Windows on this second partition is not
emulating it. It's running it natively, just as it would on any PC.
There is no performance hit.

Only when running Windows in a virtual environment (e.g. Parallels or
Fusion) would there be some performance hit, so that method is really
not that practical for things like games. For that, you'd use the
Bootcamp created Windows partition. Luckily, you can do either.

It's really very cool to be able to run any OS X app, any Windows app,
and any Linux app, all on one PC, all at the same time! Geek
nirvana!
