I would like to see results from a 10.2 Jag and some more windows (rackmount) machines. I'm really not putting down windows performance at all... I'm just reading the results of the tests. And (though I'd still buy Mac/*nix machines for other reasons) if the Windows results clearly beat the mac results, I would read them just the same...but they don't as of yet. ;-)Cheers, Donovan> > > Sorry - you still won't convince me to buy hardware based on the nice color > of the thing. > >-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------<><> Donovan Brooke <><>->ï ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
