   I'm sure it is. And I'd be happy to try a Mac, if someone would buy me one.   
   (I'm not employed, and need to upgrade to W7, but don't want to do it on a   
   10-year-old machine.)   
      
   Prediction: Apple's adoption of Intel processors brings us a major step   
   closer to the elimination of local operating systems. It further encourages   
   the development of thin clients, in which the software resides on the Web,   
   and the OS is little more than a Web browser.
