What he said was that future PowerPC chips won't have that edge that they do today. </DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>-Neil</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On Jun 9, 2005, at 11:35 AM, J wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">I for one am one of Apple's loyal customers and advocates and I am OFFENDED.

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.</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Inother words, the PC crowd have been liars all along.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#0000DD"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
