might that not increase the value of vintage Macs - the only ones left that can run with the software or has an extinction event occured from which the fallout may take time to see but long in effect?
where are the young, enterprizing ones setting out to take advantage of the price drops in the chips made by the other guys who will eagerly seek a new consumer? will they launch a line of cherries? or sour grapes? or maybe pomegranetes? where are those knowledgeable experienced one who were discarded by Apple? are they organizing to launch a line that will skyrocket to success on the fuel of Apple's errors? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Liam Proven" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Vintage Macs" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, June 06, 2005 1:31 PM Subject: Re: Oh my.......

See macworld.com or macnn.com or slashdot.org or macslash.org for details. The Mac is switching to Intel. I am amazed. It's the end of an era. Every major computing platform in the world will run on the same architecture. And it's the oldest and arguably the worst. CISC has won. One ISA to rule them all, one ISA to find them; one ISA to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. -- Liam Proven Home: http://welcome.to/liamsweb * Blog: http://lproven.livejournal.com AOL, Yahoo UK: liamproven * ICQ: 73187508 * MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
