I finally stopped laughing enough to respond to that post! *wipes tears from eyes*
Those are TERMINALs, mate. In other words, they are graphics-accentuated DISPLAYS. Oh, you macophiles are just too self-important for words! *snicker*
I have a 486-DX4-120 that can handle 63 of those displays at one time -although, I must admit not with the REALLY pretty fonts that your fellow adherants seem to prefer, and could do quite a few more if I felt it necessary.
However, very well. I suppose that in your mind the posting of some terminals being accessed by macbooks makes you somehow "cool" to others, so enjoy. *grin*
When I start to feel the need for faster speeds than Pentium -66 speeds for raw processing power, I suppose I might begin to look at your terminal (x-windows, of a sort) boxen for some useage. Until then, the pretty fonts and the nice backgrounds will look quite lovely when I bring someone by to play...
Are you really as stupid as you are coming across? There is NOTHING INHERENTLY SUPERIOR ABOUT YOUR WINDOW BOXES. These scientist and engineers are not choosing Macs because they make great "terminals", any more than they choose a Windows machine for that purpose. If that were the case, they'd choose the cheapest "terminal" computer they could. These engineers chose Macs for good serious reasons. Contrary to your asinine claims which you stated were based on hearsay. Do you even know what UNIX is, or what it is capable of?
