A first generation pentium 4 is faster than that, but I didn't say anything since I was at work.

He claims to be a gamer, I'm like... what do you play on that, Number Muncher?

Dude there is so many things wrong with that statement I don't even know where to begin.

Do you even understand the dynamics between speeds of Mac's vs. PC's and the architectual diferences on how a PC and a MAC work???

Yes there are architectural differences but name one thing a 800MHz Mac can do faster than a P4. What's the slowest available P4, 2.6GHz?

hell yeah I know what I'm talkin' about.

Back in 2001, the first generation of Pentium 4's were released.

I just capitalized Mac as MAC, it's common sense. pc or PC? Hell no it'z not an address, it's a damn MACINTOSH.

And I know an 800 Mac ain't gonna run my 2005 games and crush Number Munchers faster than my Athlon FX

We had this Apple IIe typing program. It was called QWERTY. Seriously. I wanted to use Mavis Beacon or whatever it was, but we couldn't afford it, or computers that would handle the awesomeness of it.

Wrong.

Wrong again. Dell and IBM were shipping P4-based machines in late 2000.

Three strikes, you're out. MAC = Media Access Control, Mac = "Mac"intosh.

Too little, too late, too goddamn retarded. Kill your parents, your friends, and then yourself. Make sure you get your whole head in front of the shotgun.

Thank you for calling.

In all truth, most libraries don't need anything faster than that.

Do you think homeless people surfing for porn should get 7800 GTXs?

LOL... My Counterstirke handle is Drunkhobo, and people always ask how I can afford a computer, so I tell them at the library.

Anyone who would believe someone playing a modern video game with internet connection is really a hobo just because their SN says to, should be pimp slapped to no end.

I agree 100%, but the OP's whole statement was just nonsense. Trust me I am the last person on Earth to advocate any type of Mac.
