- As a Macintosh user, I feel uncomfortable when I hear somebody says:" IBM PC
- is faster than Macintosh in calculation. Mac is an excellent word processor
- and is good for graphic application. It is not fast enough for serious
- mathematical calculation or modeling." I hear this kind of word many times,
- even a Electrical Engineer Professor said that. I would like to know whether
- PC is really faster than a Mac for the same clock speed and similar model CPU.
- If Mac is really faster or similar in performance compared with PC, how can
- Apple or Mac lover express the truth?
- Thank You
