Apple does a lot of the engineering in house, what they lack is the manufacturing capability. They do design the lines too.

They also picked up PA Semiconductor just to bring the talent in house for their mobile chips. --Larry _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
