While I think that Mark's quote referred to the "real" power4 with the dual core rather than the new desktop power4 derivative (gPul?) that will surely find its way into a mac box, I think fwiw that someone should be able to express dissappointment about apple without a bunch of smarta$$es jumping his/her butt. I think his yearning for a processor that can compete with intel/amd is pretty understandable. Have you looked at the specs on a highend pc lately? Its depressing. kj.
