[Electronics-talk] Windows versus Mac [was "RE: Question about Talking Scale"]

[Jorge Paez]

although you may be able to get more powerful hardware, the Mac OS does consume less system resources, and run faster on less powerfull hardware then Windows.


And, don't mean to come across as harsh, but rember this is an electronics list, so this topic is fine.
