This likelihhod is counter to Shawn's (and et al) apparent insistence that
something secret and/or magical and/or PPC-like is forthcoming from
MacIntel, while supporting Chris's contention that the roadmap is readable.
Moreover, as an Intel investor, I can guarantee that while Apple may be
secretive, Intel is not.  Every event and possibility is touted like the
first trip to the moon.  Though Shawn's existential proclamations regarding
the certainty of knowledge and confidence and the futility of extrapolation
are philisophically sound, I am fairly content with the assertion that such
an approach is not particulary applicable to Intel's general puruit of
knowledge, economy and leverage.

Maybe Steve figures not many really use laptops for vector applications?

Respectfully,
