Wang... Awasome back in the day. As far as Macs, it's really a price issue. I just bought a new Dell i7 2.9 ghz quad core, 8 gbs of ram, 1 tb raid, 512mb video, 22" monitor... For about $2,100. This is a smokin' machine.
Apple would give me a goat and a donkey cart for that price. Plus I'd pay through the nose for the software. Beautiful stuff, though, I agree.

I like Apple products for their hardware build [and looks]. The first time I saw an iMac at PC World, it was so stunning, I took a photograph of it to show my then g/f who is a graphics designer. Then one of my post clients bought a lorry load of Mac Pros for their render farm. Beautiful machines. I agree about building an O/S to suit the hardware (mentioned elsewhere in this thread). The Wang [proprietary] systems I worked on in the 80s were strong because Wang designed the h/w and s/w together. Pity Wang didn't have a useful *nix core in those days.
