FUD. You have no idea what Apple is going to release "tomorrow" or next May.

Now, you may "think" you know, you can guess, you can prognosticate, you can
have a wild ass guess, but you don't *know* squat about what Apple will
release.

So? The *only* purpose of those machines is for software vendors to port
their apps to MacIntel. They are not machines designed for sale in a year.
Apple doesn't care what they look like - as long as a vendor can use them to
port their software, that's all that matters.

No kidding. Someone asked me why I keep arguing with you when it's obviously
so pointless. I told them, "Someone has to point out he doesn't know
anything about Apple's future."

Chris, you make it seem like you sit at the right hand of Steve Jobs. As if
you know what he thinks and is planning. I just want to point out to
everyone that *no one* knows what the future for Apple holds. You can guess
but, like most guesses about the future, in particular with regards to
Apple, are most likely to be wrong this far in advance.

So, rather the continuing to spread your Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, could
you do us a favor and make it more clear that your "pronouncements from on
high" are just wild guesses based on little, if any, real information from
Apple?
