Why the death watch and put down of the new chip? The Mac is a
Personal Computer, just like a Dell, a Gateway, the Commodore Amiga,
the Commodore Vic20, the Sinclair Z80, the Apple II and the Radio
Shack TRS 80.
So Apple becoming another Dell is a "good thing"? Am I the only one
here who has concerns with this? Geeezzzz......
Why is changing one chip on the motherboard going to make Apple become
another Dell? A "Personal Computer" is a computer for an individual
person to use. It is not dependent upon which chip or operating system
it uses. A dell box running Linux is still a personal computer, just a
crappy piece of hardware running a decent operating system. A Mac
running Yellow Dog Linux is a personal computer also.
Compare a pc to a Mini or Mainframe computer like the PDP 11, IBM 360
or the Cray line that is designed for many people to use. Apple has
been producing Personal Computers since the Apple I.
