by someone on Slashdot with regard to Apple switching to Intel processors:
"I felt something, a disturbance in the network, as if a million mac zealots cried out in horror and were suddenly silenced"
I, for one, don't mind at all that Apple has switched to Intel. It's a bitch reading every few months about Apple having to nag first Motorola and now IBM about upping speeds by ten percent in response to Intel/AMD upping theirs by 75 percent.
Apple will now get the same megahertz bumps that the other manufacturers get and its user base will get open source at the same time as the wintel platform (no more waiting for coders who own PPC boxes can figure out the differences between processors).
The world changes faster, faster and faster.
