you are right.
however, computing power is also important especially we are talking
about PowerMac.
it's a computer made for pro people.
so the faster it is, the better.

my mother who can't even program a VCR. I use (forced) both Windows

UNIX at work and can't wait to get home to my iMac. It has nothing to
do
with computing power. It has everything to do with ease of use. As
developers, shouldn't we focus on performance in terms of ease of use
rather
than pure computing power, especially when the majority of Mac users
probably have a lower performance Mac?
I am glad that Apple has faster machines to offer, and better bus
speed
and well, but many will be complaining that Apple has no performance
competitive offering tomorrow not to mention in three months. At
least
we no longer have to put up with dual processor Macs that are slower
than single processor Dells that cost half as much.
