I know that apple didn't make firewire.. its just widely used by apple. Also, more and more people at my school have becoming interested in the G5.. I don't see a point.. I'd rather buy an FX-51/53 rig and the best 19" lcd money can get me for almost half the price (Fry's has a G5 with the huge "cinema" display for $3500 after rebates). I guess the best way of describing my attitude for macs: I don't HATE macs... I just prefer PC's.
wow from HD's to firewire to macs... my bad
