Geeks changing to Apple (Score:4, Funny)
Gen 3:1Now the Apple was more subtil than any beast of the field which the God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every computer of the garden?
Gen 3:6And when the linux geek saw that the G5 good for Unix, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one hip, took of the Apple thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto the other geeks; and they did eat.
Gen 3:7And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they weren't using Open Source; and they compiled aprons something using gpp.
Gen 3:13 And the LinusGod said unto the geek, What is this that thou hast done? And the linux geek said, The Apples are so sexy, they beguiled me, and I did eat.

Why would you want to run a twelve-year-old on your computer, you dirty baster?

Well I would still recommend waiting a year. Then they will have faster chips.

Personally, I wish I had the money to get a G5 for college. My friend picked an Alienware over a G5, but I have a feeling he will regret it.

It has a scrollwheel to the left of the keys, which I prefer using since it can be used by any finger easily, which reduces finger strain from stroking the mouse.

Yeah, Apple is always trying to screw the customer, by selling computers, and then coming out with faster ones!

I want a dual 3Ghz G5 and HD Studio display. You see, I don't believe those penis enlargment ads that show up in my e-mail. I know for a fact my fallus is directly linked to the power of my computer.

2. Nobody cares about market share.
3. Apple has been one of the most consistently profitable computer companies of the past five years.

That is all.

Moreso, to save Money I could run Linux which would provide me with 50% of what I consider to be a good computing experience - the smashing UNIXy bits. The rest - consistent UI, stable, bug-free apps, sound card support I don't want to work for - I'd have to get elsewhere. The remainder (buggy apps, poor UI, poor documentation) you (and Adobe) can keep.
So, I guess if you work the graveyard shift in a 24 hour supermarket, live with your Mom and think that a well-running x86 box is one with the side off, then I guess building your own computer is worth the time you spend on it.

Apple IS dying (Score:5, Funny)
Dude, that is SO true! In fact, Apple has been dying since 1985, if not earlier. It's been a long, slow, miserable death with nothing to show for it.
Forget all of the things Apple has brought to computing. Forget the Music Store. Forget the G5s. Forget OS X. Forget the XServe. Forget their pro apps. Forget that they're making money while everyone else but Dell is losing money.
They are done! Toast! Finished!

Now with his Alienware pC, when inspiration hits him he will be able to make that awesome Neverwinter Nights module he'd been thinking about for days. No matter how cool his Mac is he won't be able to do that...
Which is why, like the original poster said, he'll probably regret it - after he flunks out of college from spending all his time gaming.
If he had the PowerMac, he could flunk out of college after spending all his time ripping DVDs : )
