      Since 1990.

      I remember their CPU cycles were “worth more”.

          Sure, but their claim was just bullshit back then.

          They did optimise Photoshop wildly for Mac to try to show they were right IIRC.

        It is not theirs, it is IBM’s. Or rather Freescale’s, now bought out by NXP. Was true at the time.
