It says "Mac" where on that page?  You try to make it sound as though 
Apple is the only company in the world shipping a GeForce 4MX card. 
They are not.  Nor is it the top of the line Mac video card.

Extracting the numbers for Apple's GeForce 4 Ti card:

1.23 trillion operations per second
10.56 gigabyte-per-second memory bandwidth
136 million triangles per second
4.8 billion textured pixels per second

Guess what that sounds awfully similar to?  The Ti 4600, of course.

Just say no to being an idiot.  That's all I ask, Robert.  It's not 
too hard to figure out the difference between the 4MX and the 4 Ti. 
Do it, before you embarrass yourself again.

Do you plan on foisting this load of ignorance and bile on us on a 
regular basis?  If so, I'll make sure and write the standard response 
up on a web page so that next time all I have to do is post a URL, 
minimizing your attempts to disrupt this mailing list.
