Getting it Running Hard Data Testing and Results Final Thoughts GameSpot's hardware editor Loyd Case pits the Macintosh G3 against Wintel. When the G3 Macintoshes were announced, Steve Jobs stood proudly on stage, showing off the new Mac's gaming chops. When I saw this, I realized that Steve Jobs' reality distortion zone was in full force.
Macintoshes are good systems.
In a past life, I worked heavily with Macs and got pretty proficient at networking Apple systems, solving INIT conflicts, and doing a little Web authoring. But I felt that this kind of disingenuous demo does no one any good. Macintosh users get a false picture of their system's 3D gaming performance, while PC users won't ever believe anything a Mac user tells them. After I got home, I started to get cold feet. I had some inkling of the outcome, and I didn't really feel like receiving 9,355,432 flame messages from Mac users.
