Between 2 worlds

AlphaTech:

The speed of flash content has nothing (well almost nothing to do with connection). Most flash sites load all the content that the viewer will be seeing, before they see it. I have a Road Runner cable connection. I work extensively with flash. The peecees run them perfectly. I've tested the same sites on multiple machines (peecees and macs). The peecees win.

I have no problem creating my flash sites, it's just viewing them. If you have any optimization tips that allow you to run flash as fast a PC, let me know. I would be very appreciative.

i have to regretably have a pc around because it is my line of work fixing pcs, but if i had a choice, i would have just one computer, the g4 tibook 667 mhz and that's all

and if i could rent it, then i would, even with a higher price, so i can swap it out for a newer laptop every 12 to 18 months so my computing experience could be optimal

it is not about actually owning a machine, which becomes a paperweight after less than 4 years, or less, but that i just want to be able to interact with the best software titles available to me and only really see the computer as a tool

sometimes i wish the field would stop moving so fast so i could actually get attached to a machine and since 1999, i have had seven computers, both desktops and laptops, both new and used (but that is common for a power user or a techie)

...but i would only want the "field" to top out when speed, ram, and disk space were not an issue and the woz has predicted that this will one day happen so we can "focus" entirely on the software aspect/applications aspect of computing and by doing that, we will start really "getting somewhere"
