Macs Running Strong as Game Machines

According to a recent report in the The Daily Collegian,

NexTag Inc., a San Mateo, Calif.-based comparison-shopping company, ranks what it calls the "most popular" computers based on a combination of sales and sales leads from reports by its several thousand merchant partners.

Garth Chouteau, public relations director for NexTag, said that based on the company's criteria, Dell's Dimension XPS machines are the first and fifth most-popular gaming PCs. However, Apple Computer's Power Mac and iMac G5 systems claimed the No. 2, 3 and 4 spots, but Apple doesn't even market those machines as gaming computers.

Well, well! Now, that's a real pleasant surprise to us. [Dana Baggett]
