Lessons From The Death of HD-DVD

[Rich-n-Texas]

I build my own PC's too Rich, but that's not really all that relevant here. There isn't much in life you can't do cheaper via the DIY route, and Apple simply isn't in that business, and has never showed interest in competing there.

I must have wandered off from the original path this thread was on. Not my intention but I am biased, and IMO with good reason.

Some would argue the performance gains you make on the hardware are offset by the resource hog that is Windows though.

Naaa... just throw more memory at it.

I was going to go into detail in response to your post Kex, but everything I came up with made me sound like an MS fanboy, and that just ain't me. Suffice to say, I love the fact that I can play some really neat video games, spend hours upon hours on message boards, send/receive e-mail, manage my finances, buy all sorts of A/V goodies, and download some really HOT porn all from one small room in my house. And it didn't cost me an arm and a leg to enable all those possibilities.
