I dumped apple mac when apple switched to the powerpc. The best move I
have ever made. So apple mac will just another clone. AMD would have
been a better choice but hay Intel has the big BRAND NAME like
McDonald's.

I sure that Apple groupies will never notice the change.

Whatever.

Either do I. The groupies will do whatever Apple the corporation tells
them to do. Haven't seen a bigger bunch of flocks of sheep who think of
themseles as trendsetters in all my life.

Also it somehow affects learning abilities and, for whatever reason,
sexual orientation ;-)

Oh, crap! I have a beard (not long this time of year) and a "Team G5"
fleece. OTOH, I don't wear T-shirts ( I use them to wash the cars)). Am
I OK? ;-))

Nope. And you are one of those effete easterners on top of it. :-)

And I previously thought such an announcement would only occur
sometime around April 1st of any given year.

If Apple switches to Intel, does that mean we will be able to run mac os
x, on X86?

If so then this could be a good thing, how many people would rather give
money to Apple, then to M$? if Apple does do this, and allows a foot in
the door, then its just a matter of time before the software will run on
other X86 cpu's. Time will tell if such a thing will happen, will the
average user be able to build a system to their liking and use Apple's OS,
this could put a lot of heat on M$ especially if its easy to install and
is fairly portable.

I don't think Steve Jobs will ever sell an Operating System without a
computer attached. Here's a quote from Paul Thurrott on that subject:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Gates offered to cede the OS market to Apple in the late 1980's if
Apple simply agreed to license their OS to other hardware makers.
Apple declined, forcing Microsoft to continue with Windows and, at the
time, an MS-DOS follow-up called OS/2.
