[Ti] Re: IBM introduces new PowerPC processors

[Henry Kalir]

Apple's been doing the right thing!

And if one would finally have the freedoom to buy a non-Apple computer 
and run the Mac OS on it - so much the better!

As for the IBM Processor - if another computer company makes a killer 
product which "takes off"...Apple can always go back and incorporate 
this processor again. No reason why the Mac OS can't continue to "lead a 
double life". I wonder if the Chinese would be willing to pay the $7K 
for a 970 CPU based machine..

I say - it's a GREAT day for long suffering Mac loyalists like myself 
who had to endure that narrow mindset which drove the Mac market share 
to near zero levels.

Best,

Henry
