I would tell people to go to www.apple.com and see the developer
conference once again, I did, and steve jobs is very careful of what
he says, he says that "by this time next year we will be shipping
intel computers" (not a direct quote, but close), he says loud and
clear that when june 2006 comes, they will be shipping, NOT that they
will start shipping then, if someone had actually heard him, they
might have known. In either case, converting hundreds of thousands
of lines and double checking them, both for intel and power pc, is
not as simple as just recompile. UB RB programs will come, I would
much more like to wait a few months rather than have this as a buggy
feature, I would really not have to thoroughly test my app for 3
platforms, 2 is enough (win and mac instead of win, mac and iMac).
I did start my app in Xcode and obj-c, bought all books on the
subject and more, spent over a year studying this, and decided to
stick with RB, even though I was getting quite good with Cocoa. My
experience with VB and Delphi earlier, has taught me a few things,
one is to never take anything for granted, things change and shit
happens. So, declares and native code, try to stay away from them
unless you really can't. Don't re-invent the wheel and such. And I
believe therefore, I like RB even though there are rough spots,
mainly because the difference between RB 2005r1 and RB2006r1 is like
night and day, 2006 is soo much better, and it keeps getting better.

Remember, original date for Intel Macs was June,
No it wasn't !!!
Every press release I've read, including the one issued on June 6,
2005, said "BY this time next year", which is a very broad
statement indeed, and doesn't say ANYTHING about June 2006.

I've never seen anything from Apple that said they were scheduled
to ship in June.
Indeed, but almost everyone took that to mean June of next year.
Sort of like how we're saying we'll have it shipped by the end of
the year, and everyone thinks that means December 31 :)
