The grim reality is that they're not really harming many customers. Bluntly, 
the vast majority of folks have no problems with the site at all, because the 
vast majority of folks are using Intel-based Macs or Windows.

First, Apple has sold far more Intel-based macs than they ever did PowerPC 
macs, probably more than than they ever sold previously, period.

Second, those PowerPC macs we're talking about were, in the main, made over 
five years ago, and struggle even to run the content they CAN play.
