I for one am one of Apple's loyal customers and advocates and I am OFFENDED. I have helped teach many people how to use the Mac. I have repairs hundreds of Mac hardware, some free. I still purchase and set up Macs for folks who are repeat buyers. I have owned at least 23 Macs. I lost count. I run a Mac website...........etc etc. IF they can't produce a chip that is 3 ghz it's because the PPC chip was faster but marked half the speed of the Wintel chips, and that is always how it's been. SO WHAT if we don't have a chip marked 3 ghz? What we have is still faster. Wintel has won by semantics, which is such a shame. Inother words, the PC crowd have been liars all along.
