Morning All,

What a shocker to awaken too. Oh well, with planned upgrade to Studio now put on hold for 12 months or more looks like a holiday is a great way to commiserate with savings.

Bugger I was so looking forward to all the new Final Cut Studio toys. I will have to go and find a benefactor to work for over the next year while the dust settles, anybody know of job for a Digital Image artist? Oh Apple Studio please, but willing and able to evolve.

I feel sorry for all the Apple retailers who have to re-evaluate future whilst surviving the transition, knowing they are going to be competing with our x86 brethren after the dust settles.

Obviously Apple did not learn from the last fore-ray into sharing chips and technology.

As Shay mentioned earlier PowerPC offered security x86 definitely does not, oh well what's another day on a weekend checking for rootkits, spyware, malware and this weeks new virus or rebuilding OS. In some situations completing ditching hardware and rebuilding machine, I suppose it gives me something to do while doing BAS statements for Johnny.

At Least $M Gates will be smiling another 12 months to get his Longhorn $M stable, and out the door. Whilst knowing he can control another part of the Apple, it's future development.

One must ask if PowerPC has no future roadmap or growth why have all the leading games console manufacturers switched to them for the next generation.

PB 17" any offers?

Cheers!
