What a real nightmare Steve Jobs has sprung on some of us!! I'm still trying to fathom what all this will mean for the 'believers'. It'll be very hard right now for the evangelists to evangelize the heathen to the Apple religion.... One thing I am certain of is that my dual G5, purchased to last me through many upgrades, both software and hardware, or so I thought some months back, is now like a lame duck sitting in the very busy Intel highway. I now have absolutely no incentive to update to Tiger, I was planning to place an order for one today!! My current 10.3.9 will do until it dies out, and hopefully by then the effects of Jobs' decision would be clearer. I am just not in a mood anymore to put my heard earned cabbages to support something built on shifting sand. Having said this, I am very well aware that some analysts have been hinting at the need for Apple to move to Intel for its supply of processors. If my memory serves me right, its been since the G3's were the high end processors that the pundits, at least some of them, were forecasting such a move. I'll wait and see ... Cheers, Philippe C
