   I remember the report and at the time, as a Mac user, I was not even   
   slightly surprised. Absolutely nothing about my G5 1.6GHz felt fast to   
   me. The crappiest Windows laptop seemed to perform better than what I   
   was using. I was actually surprised that Apple was even making an   
   attempt to sell servers.
