Well said, Michael. I have used Macs exclusively since 1985 and enjoy
the lists I am on, learning from them all. I will admit to a tinge of
discomfort when I heard about intelmacs. But last night I watched Jobs'
Macworld presentation via the Apple site and must admit to feeling the
urge to pony up for the new iMac. When one moves forward there is always
something to be left behind... I hope there are no "deal breaker" issues
with this transition.

While unfortunately the latest Al-Books don't allow booting to OS9, and
there are some discussions on this list regarding OS9 problems; this
lack of functionality hasn't stopped the inclusion of said 'books. One
of the most effective things regarding the Apple system is the community
that has built around it, and welcomed new Win'tel converts. Whether
you believe this latest move on Apple's part is good or bad, to begin to
dissolve that community for simply a means of protest against a bit of
silicon seems silly and does a disservice to this list and the potential
transfer of knowledge through discussion.

Ok, here's a question:
Would the new MacBook qualify for this list? Current processors all
have something in common, sort of. Or will there now be a MacBook list?
(Like I said, I'm still very happy with my almost-new G4, but still.....
:) )
Later.................Howard
