I wouldn't say that. I'm thinking I may want to buy one of the last  
G5's before the transition. Why? Because the architecture has been  
well worked out. The first Intel based machines are going to be a Rev  
1 in a major way. Apple has always impressed me with their Rev. 1  
work, but this is a big change and there will be bugs and  
incompatibilities.

What really amazes me is how Apple can make these major transitions  
almost effortlessly compared to other companies. That says a lot  
about their planning and engineering.
