As proved with Apple's "small" market share, IBM cannot come close to 
competing with Intel in the Home computing market.  It will be 
interesting to see if they can deliver on game console orders.  How 
many times over the past years have you seen "ships in 3-5 weeks" on 
your Apple computer order.  Thanks IBM!  It doesn't matter how 
kickass your chip is if you can't deliver in quantities that 
consumers demand.

And the notion that we are at the end of 64 bit computing is complete 
crap. There was a reason that Steve gave us 2 years before the START 
of migration to Intel in the PowerMacs.  I am betting that we are 
going to me amazed again when that happens.
