Thanks Doc! I haven't mentioned anything about this, anywhere, in probably
a year. The only thing I like less than x86 is x86 fanboys.
The only thing Apple did wrong with the change from PPC to Intel was that
they took to long. They wasted a lot of resources porting the OS from
68k/x86/SPARC/PA-RISC to PPC. They should have focused their efforts on
getting it running on x86. Remember the first developer releases of
Rhapsody ran on x86. Those responsible for PPC simply were not responsive
enough to Apple's or its customers needs.

Oh, that was one of the new(old) x86
machines. The ones with the modern
PPC processors run much cooler. ;)
