On the Radio with Steve Crowley's American Scene this morning We had another fine radio show with Steve.  Very short it seems but it's always fun.  Today I lined up a few interesting topics, among which was a short promo for the new Apple G5 Power Mac.  I don't have one.  And that's a shame.  The G5 with Dual processors is the first PC I've really wanted to buy since I bought my last Dell a year ago (my, that sounds like a long time).  You have to look at this beautiful piece of work.  The introduction video and the switch to pages are compelling.  Yes, I'm still a Windows user - I have '98, 2000, and XP pro on our machines. And with all those I don't feel satisfied.  I don't know how long it might take to convert me (partially or wholly) to Mac, but for the first time, I'm interested.  The Unix based OS X is boss.  The partnership of Apple and IBM on this machine is more than intriguing.  It's very possible we may be seeing a competitor take on MS and win.  I'd love to see it happen.  I don't dislike MS.  I just believe there are some great alternatives which are poised to become real players in the market.  Apple has been, wants to be, and now I think MAC IS BACK. 10:31:46 PM
