You can also use the mac as a webserver. I used to use one myself a few years back for those very reasons. I still have a sawtooth G4 350 that I use for FTP access on my home network.

Re: Apple_ARM ?
I'm sorry, I take some of that back. I didn't have a chance to read up on it till now. I could see the move for the very low end products, but for the higher end I don't see them keeping them all ARM. That would cause a strong drop in business(and student for some applications) base.

Re: Apple_ARM ?
Thank you Dan, that actually makes a lot of sense looking at it from that standpoint. On Sat, May 7, 2011 at 4:06 PM, Dan dantear...@gmail.com wrote: At 8:37 AM + 5/7/2011, Wallace Adrian D'Alessio wrote: An opinion. [zdnet link] LOL. This was all done in the press as minor stories back in January. It's only now that they've picked it up again during this slow news cycle. Ok... The facts: ARM is an up and coming architecture whoze implementation is getting faster and faster with each generation. However, it is currently 32-bit only. Back in January, at CES in Las Vegas, ARM made the announcement that they're going 64-bit and their intention is to get into the server-grade processor market. ETA for delivery is a year or less. At that same CES, Microsoft announced they're going to port Windoze to ARM. No ETA commitment. A few microseconds later, a loud *plotz* was heard from one end of Intel's management to the other, and the higher mucketies probably choked on their skittles. So much for the facts. Now the guesswork, however founded it may be: Apple has little tolerance for companies that fail to make their commitments. eg: It is believed the main reason for the switch to Intel x86 is that IBM/Moto/Freescale fell behind their own delivery commitments, unable to produce faster low-power (laptop) class processors etc. eg2: Last year's MBA had the same'ole Core 2 Duo a second time around. hum. Apple's experience with the 68x-ppc and ppc-x86 transitions have given it the tools necessary to make moving onto another platform s easy. IOW, Apple is pretty much architecture independent. All that matters is performance - speed and power. Of course, that makes Intel's recent 3d transistor announcement silly hype. The bottom line is what's fastest. iOS is based on a stripped down fork of Mac OS X. And quite a few touch-screen type features are being moved from iOS into Lion (OS X 10.7). ETA this summer. Now, why would Apple have any interest in maintaining *two* operating systems? That's a lot of unnecessary work! And remember that patent for the touch-screen iMac? Yea, baby! After Lion, or perhaps during Lion's life cycle, there will be a complete merge of iOS' features into OS X. So... The state of the art by this summer will be... 32-bit ARM at the low end, and 64-bit Sandy Bridge x86 at the high end. Atom is a joke. Ivy Bridge is coming. Faster ARM is coming. 64-bit ARM is coming! My bet: IF Intel gets its butt in gear and is on time delivering Ivy Bridge and its follow-ons -- ie, faster low power x86 processors, then Apple will stick with them. But if Intel blinks, and 64-bit ARM beats one of their that x86 generation, Apple will move ARM into the MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac lines during the next release cycles. That's right... iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, MacBook Pro, and iMac will become the same product line, +/- a few peripherals and a dock. As to the speculation of who fabricates what... pt. Doesn't matter. ARM makes no chips! All that fabrication is out-sourced anyway, generation by generation. As Atom fails, Intel will have more and more fabrication capacity available. Bidding war. Yea, Intel will make ARM processors for whoever pays. *yawn* - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
