G4? good? bad?

["Zachary Florian" <icthusianz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

so anyhow i'll claim some ignorance and just start this by saying i don't
really know what a gigaflop is. anyhow i was wondering if there's any
opinion on Apple's newest chip. I'm sure a few of you hate it. it wouldn't
sit correctly in the world if the majority of people didn't hate it. but
they claim it sustains calculations of at least 1 gigaflop and maxes at like
4. if this is 100% true and not some weirded out view on the G4 as good ole
Steve seems to have from time to time, then i wonder if this would be a good
investment for me to work on buying...
