Wow! If Apple goes to ARM on laptops, wouldn't that be like going back to the PowerPC. I know that the times are different today and that ARM is way better off than PowerPC was in 2005 as far as Apple is concerned, but still, what would the performance of say future equivalent of MacBook pro be?

So Apple will just stick to intel on high-performance models, while using ARM for everything else? That seems too optimistic to be true... that would mean that Apple would have to develop 2 parallel versions of OS X at the same time, one for ARM and other for Intel. This actually is nothing new,

I think it has just gone bad unfortunately. There used to be a delay in accessing the drive that I thought was the drive being asleep. It was inside my QS2002 as second. Have tried with the Newertech Swiss Army connector, whatever they call it, and a good quality external Firewire case,
