As much as I love my PPC iMac, with its bits in sensible order, I 
agree with your decision.

Five years ago, when I bought my last PPC (G5) I did it even though 
the writing was on the wall and the Intel iMac was the "current 
machine" - I don'g regret having done that and it has worked very 
well. But even thought the bits are in annoying order, my new i7 iMac 
is a fantastic machine - I love it (too :) .

Wonderful that J701 is available for PPC - but I'm really looking 
forward to having 64 bit J to use the address space available in this 
astonishing computer.

Thank you for all the great progress in making J701 a giant step forward.
