    Carly may have won, but the HP OfficeJet printer I bought has made me swear I will NEVER buy HP again... What irony...

    RE: Macs are best though

    Not according to the December Macworld, which compares the G5 dual 2Ghz and the G5 1.8Ghz to:

    G4 dual 1.4 GHz
    Alienware Area 51 (3.2 GHz Pentium 4)
    Alienware Aurora (2.2 GHz Athlon)
    Polywell Poly Station 2020A (dual 2 GHz Opteron)

    It looks like the new G5 is only good for DVD creation (MPEG-2 encoding).

    Sorry Apple.

    MacWorld Review....

    ....sorry, try again. That review has been gone over many times for its poor quality and selection of software used in the testing. Sorry for you that you didn't understand the article.

    RE: MacWorld Review....

    Unfortunately the c't magazine review, the Maximum PC magazine review, the Maya, C4D and Lightwave benchmarks, the UT2K3, JK2 and RTCW scores, etc aren't quite so easily dismissed.
