  • Quote: Originally posted by D.J. Adequate Make an argument, or better yet provide a link where Apple promises this. Just typing it in caps doesn't make it true. I suspect you are right, but until Apple puts it in writing, your speculation is no b…
  • Quote: Originally posted by turbospe I don't feel cheated necessarily, just kind of...dirty. I know I'll buy a new computer in the next year, and I'll feel a little whorish knowing Intel's inside. turboSPE As long as I don't see the word "…

  • Most likely stay the same I imagine. Just because PentiumBook sounds like utter crap.

  • Quote: Originally posted by bostongeek Heh, but you don't have to return the 1.8GHz G5 PowerMac, whereas the developers have to return the transition machines to Apple. So, any inference you make on price is pretty baseless. Thanks for point…
  • Quote: Originally posted by ChappySinclair I have been reading these forums and am pretty confused. I was hemming and hawing between buying a 14" iBook or a 15" Powerbook both with Superdrive. I was waiting until the WWDC to see if there would be…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Frank777 Nonsense. Apple has millions of PPC Macs in the market that could run 10.5, but not a single, solitary one that has an Intel CPU. Making 10.5 contingent on an Intel CPU is what would be wasted effort. E…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Addison 6. I bet OSX for PPC is done. We will get 10.4.xx updates, but no 10.5 Leopard. Ummmm...Jobs said it would be a 2 year transition starting at NEXT years WWDC, which is when 10.5 is going to be released. So…
