Define "near future"? For the next 8-10 months, any machines Apple announces
will be the exact same as the machines we all use today.

At some point (most likely after Macworld Expo SF 2006) Apple will start
selling machines with the "MacIntel Chip" inside of them. But no one knows
which machines (PB's, iMacs, Towers?) those will be.
