Right tool for the job. I'm not suggesting that Apple support ONLY Power chips. I'm pointing out that they already support multiple architectures -- so just make that available. Let us have our Macs with whatever vendor's chips suits that type of Macs. eg: ARM in the laptops. Core 2 in the mid-range. Power, etc in the high end. At the rate so much stuff is using p-code... this is really no big deal. >The staggering rate of performance increase of Macs since the Intel >switch is proof enough to me that Apple chose the right track. Yes, they did. Good market timing. Yesterday. We're talking about tomorrow. Intel is beginning to wallow in their success, lower MTBFs, and deal with the anti-trust issues... - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the iMac Group, a group for those using Apple iMacs and eMacs.
