I just have to say this before I head off to bed. I was feeling depressed. I just purchased a Dual Processor G5 6 months ago. I came home and watched the keynote. This is not as bad at all. Apple really had no choice. There's no room to grow on the PowerPC processor anymore. This explains why I didn't get my 3 Ghz G5. The Universal Binaries will make this a smooth transition. It won't be seemless I unterstand that, but Rosata (PowerPC Emulation) looks great and will definitly help. I look forward to purchasing an Intel Based PowerMac the next time I purchase a computer, and I feel confident after watching the keynote, that my software Applications will work. Take Care, and no hell has not frozen over. (I'll say it again watch the Keynoye). -- Aaron Willems aaron at macmanifest.com http://www.MacManifest.com Spreading the Good Word about Today's Macintosh. > Well this is the comment of one who has not taken the time to WATCH > the keynote IN IT's ENTIRETY.
