I /AM/ a Mac user, but why-o-why does the GUI have to consume so many cycles that you need a high-power box and GPU to run it? Why does XP go so much faster when you revert to the Win2000 UI-styles?? I haven't tried Vista (don't want to but suppose I'll eventually be forced to in some context), but it sounds ever worse.

I'm not advocating for 40x24 7-bit ascii, but seriously, do GUI's need SO MUCH eye-candy!?
