[Ti] Screen Savers last night...

[Matthew Fosberg]

There was an exchange on the ScreenSavers last night (3/31/03) between 
Kevin Rose and Leo LaPorte about the possibility of Apple switching to 
Intel. Kevin quoted (of all people) John Dvorak as saying that Apple 
will switch within 16 to 18 months. Leo and Kevin discussed the issue 
of Jobs at some chip makers conference as possible evidence.

Kevin was very pro switch and Leo expressed some doubts. My biggest 
doubt is the original source John Dvorak, who seems to be the 
posterchild for writing controversial computing issues just to sell 
some print. I think it's a non-issue, but I will admit I don't have all 
the facts.
