TOP POST!

Why does everyone keep going on about the APPLE!!!

The apple machines are designed for graphic and video production. They
always have been and probably always will!!

Why do you need a ATI PCI Graphics card optional ATI Raedon 8500 AGP 4x in a
Web server??

These posts is really starting to get on my nerves.

One of the companies I work for runs 15 DVP's (Digital Video Players) and
guess what, they are all MAC's because that is what they are designed for
GET IT!!

Kind Regards,

Mark Priest
