I mean, I am not a Mac addict because of the PowerPC chip. I like the end result. The interface. I love X. Truth be told, when I tried out my first Mac in 1999, it was the cheap low end iMac. I was going to try it for a year to see what it was like while I was in Korea. I wasn't too impressed. It crashed just as much as my Windows 9x machine did. I was going to go back to a PC until I heard of the coming of OS X. So I stayed, and bought the public beta, and even bought the high end iMac to run it on. I was soooo happy with it, and that is why I stayed Mac. So if Apple decided to use a Pentium 4 (or equivalent) in a closed architecture system, I wouldn't mind. I would mind if they used the standard PC architecture, because I truly think Apple would die because of it. I don't think they make enough revenue from their software. OK...so they sold 100,000 copies of Jag in their first weekend, or was it 150? Either way...not enough to support them. They would have to seriously downsize, and that would lesson quality. My opinion of course...and everybody has one...just like...nevermind ;) Walt -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
