They Did It!!!!

A little off the topic of late, but they did it. Apple Computer announced that they will be switching from IBM/ Motorola to chips by intel. This has caused a shock through the Mac world. Some are predicting problems, while others are more optimistic. I believe that this will be a great benefit to Apple and the Mac OS as a platform. It will keep the hardware improving as the OS improves and Apple will still use the proprietary hardware solution they use now, meaning that you would not be able to purchase a Dell (for shame) and install Mac OS X on it. Apple will not have to wait any longer for IBM to get it's act together and improve yields on high performance processors. I am not in the market for a new Mac today, but I looking forward to the possibilities that this affords to Apple and the Mac community.

That's a very positive take on it. I'm glad to hear it and hope you're right.
