Sorry, I tried to ask Mr. popcorn to send me email or post his email. Please Mr. popcorn send me email if you want to debate this further.

Multiple CPU's and OS's means application developers and hardware developers will "CHOOSE" too!!! That's the problem. They WON'T support them all, it's too expensive. The industry went through all this already and almost everyone now picks Windows. Yes, you don't have a choice any more if you want to play the game.

If you are as good a programmer as you say a new PC should be pocket change for you.

Sorry you lost your argument with the 486 thing and graphics artists. Why don't you go render ONE frame of a "A Bugs Life" on 486 and let me know when your done. Or load the engine drawing of Boeing 747.

If you really think this way, I take my offer of a reasonable email discussion back. You have a valid complaint and I'm simply trying explain why it happend and why it's unlikely to change. But the 486 thing means you have no idea what your talking about.
