   Nice thread hijack.  I predict this one is going to run for a while.

   Actually, that's not what it said, here it is:   
   "This one's bizarre, but we heard at lunch today that Apple is   
    unhappy with the PowerPC production at IBM and will be switching to   
    Intel-compatible cheaps this very year. Yeah, seriously."   
      
   "We heard at lunch today", highly authoritative.  Must be true.   
      
   "Intel-compatible cheaps", [sic], or just a freudian slip at how   
   pathetic Intel is now compared to AMD?   
      
   Anyone want to bet on when the next OpteroMac will ship?

   "I wouldn't doubt that Microsoft sells more copies of Windows in   
    Iceland than Apple sells in Macs and their fearsome OS world wide."
