Agreed, those who love Apple will still love Apple. Personally I've never owned a Mac, but I was planning on getting a mini some time. Now that they are moving to Intel there is no question in my mind that I will be running a Mac in the future. I'll have the best Desktop and some of the best software availible today, and when I want to play CounterStrike, I'll just boot into Windows (or there may be a no-performance-impact emulator for Windows apps). Or maybe I'll boot into Linux, download an i386 RPM, and install it without freaking out that it's a binary-only package and I can't recompile for PPC or cell. -Bryan .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
