[Ti] [OT] PowerBooks with Intel processors - not on topic!

[Peter Krug]

Chris,

Please add the [OT] to these posts so my kill filter will function.   
They have nothing to do with using, maintaining or troubleshooting  
powerbooks.  I figured you guys would be done with this topic by  
now.  Silly me.

Peter

p.s. You have succeeded in making me HATE the PPC to Intel  
transition.  Mostly because of the huge increase in OT posts...
