i would have to say tom is more like tucker. both their products were beyond their time. the competition dismissed the tucker...yet they were afraid of him and ripped off his best ideas as soon as he was gone. and like the mag the tucker had a relatively small following that recognized the genius. tucker never made it big because SP oh i mean GM and the rest sued him among other things.

I would say AGD is good, and not cheap or fast lol.

X mags = NOT fast (6 months lol)
NOT cheap ($1400)

GOOD! CHA CHING!

Retromag = good, cheap, fast

Actually its "quality delivery price pick two". The Steven Jobs thing is interesting although he was more of a sales guy than I am.

lol Thanks for giving me a laugh. I think the forum needs more threads like this and the "Tom get a new hairdo" thread.

Hell 6 mo wait on an xmag is nothing.

Try some of the cutting edge race crap in the auto industry. Took my bud about a year until he had the civic how he liked. I think it was worth it, 445hp and 360ft/lbs of trq aint bad from a 1.9l thats in a car you can drive everyday with a/c.

You only get one choice. How about "buy cheap buy twice"

Kosmos top 10 komments on this thread:

#1 The only decent things apple makes are ipods and monitors. Otherwise they suck.
#2 Front wheel drive sucks
#3 Honda sucks
#4 445/360 from a 1.9 definately doesnt suck
#5 Honda still sucks
#6 Just out of curiosity, what was his mileage like?
#7 No engine is easier or cheaper to modify than the good ol 350 small block. Invest the money that was invested into that honda and youd easily have over 700 to 800 hp. I mean cripes, they can push out 550 whilst N/A on pump gas with only bolt on modifications.
#8 That nissan 3.5 is looking quite impressive though, and a few years from now with plenty o aftermarket support it could dominate. Very reliable and very powerful
#9 Quality Delivery Price: What happens when you dont pick any? 1980's Jaguar...
#10 At least the xmag wait isnt as long as it could be... I mean if they would hurry up and fricken match annodize the valves it would appeal to a lot more people. Well I dont know about a lot... but at least one .

Apple doesnt make thier moniters, Sony does

The civic gets about 33mpg on the track

BTW start this thread in the Frendiely corner and bring some facts with you next time. Trust me I have been over this debate time and time again, so come prepared!

Talk about thead hyjacking. This is just wrong.

Tom, Jobs is more of an engineer than you think. He was working on what is now OSX (MacOS on unix) over a decade ago. In fact it's one of the reasons he left Apple for a time. It was called NeXT. It was pretty cool, but way ahead of it's time, and had performance problems because of it (sound familiar?). It must have been doomed to fail because it didn't start with an "M", and had too many letters. At least it had the "X" in there.

Anyways, in response to the original question posed, I have to vote:

#1 Good

#2 Fast

The Steve Jobs compairsion is really interesting.

Some other correllations:

1. AGD and Apple/Mac users both swear by thier products.

2. Both are admittedloy better than most of the products in thier respective fileds, though most people won't admit it.

3. Both poinereed a lot of innovations that people take for gratned.

4. Many people don't realize that AGD and Steve jobs invented / are respnosible for the continuation of the fileds that they support.
