It's a shame that IBM was not up to the task of delivering low power Power PC chips for laptops. But this is nothing new, IBM failed to adapt their (PS 2) OS to the Power PC maintaining compatibility with earlier versions of the OS on Intel processors. To me, I would have favored an alliance with AMD rather than Intel. Apple could have become part owner etc. Oh well, I'm just an old man, nobody listens to me! <G> JT --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
