If the problem is IBM's financial shuffling, then what kind of money does it take to buy out the chip-making division? Can supposedly cash-rich Apple do this? Dunno. I'll have my Compacts, my Modulars and G3/G4 Macs, and the memories. To not have any different computing products will be one of the saddest transitions I will ever have had to make. Then Intel, like Microsoft will hold monopolies on how we compute. When this list and the others in it's stable were in financial danger of disappearing, we coughed up money to keep it going. Wonder if all the Mac people were to buy stock in Apple if the capital gained would be enough to make that buy?
