All that you say may be true and I don't doubt that it is but Chris'
cynicism is useful if for no other reason than as a benchmark of sorts to
compare when Macintel does hit the streets.

A couple of things I've noticed about Wintel is that it takes a long long
time to load, does not multitask well but individual programs seem to run
pretty fast. MacOS boots relaltively quickly, multitasks very well but
individual programs aren't that snapppy unless you're on a high end G5. So
if we have quick loading, good multitasking and snappy performance, it's a
good thing.

We'll see. I remain an optimist but I appreciate Chris' devil's advocate
POV.

Some of us in the Mojave desert may still have few tricks up our sleeve on
this one. We're still free to build airplanes and spacecraft from our
garages and fly the goddamn things. Try and keep up with a nation that
builds working spacecraft in the garage. As a hobby. Out of pocket. For FUN.
