[Ti] A different view on Intel/Apple marriage

[Alan Thompson]

I think it may eventually produce cheaper macs, and no perceived  
megahertz deficiency, as well as maintain Apple's historically  
ridiculous profit margins on hardware, even after lowering prices.

But, I still think that in the short term, it's really going to hurt  
existing PowerPC-based machines.  They will be perceived as EOL'd  
(end of life) computers, and people will hold out on making  
purchasing decisions until the new architecture arrives, *and*  
there's software available for it.  Could mean some very chilly  
quarters with regard to revenue, and market reaction to the move.
