Yes, yes, I know what you're saying, and I feel your pain. I loved the Gs (all of them), and from experience, know that my G4 Sawtooth easily outperformed my Celeron of the same speed. But Motorola/IBM couldn't keep up. They were unable to deliver processors that could be kept cool in the increasingly important portable market. I also had high hopes for AMD, but they had already begun their slide into irrelevancy. What choice was there? Intel was eager to have Apple's business, and willing (and able) to provide whatever was needed. But the thing everyone seems to have forgotten is that Apple is a software company. The hardware is only there to support the software, and as such, is not important. Stability, reliability, and user experience are what you buy when you buy Apple, and if squirrels lived inside to provide power, it wouldn't matter. Remember when Woz built the Apple I with the cheapest hardware (because it was what he could afford), but created a way to use the processor off-cycles to boost graphic performance? The OS is what you use; the nuts and bolts don't matter... My $.02, V Mabus
