    Greetings everyone. Let me just say this is my first post ever in the Apple forum. The reason I don't post here is because I know virtually nothing about Macintosh computers. It is sad but true.

    I ran across this article earlier today, thought it would be worth it to post. Enjoy!:

    Good information Chaz! It's always good to know more about Apples, as most of the media "glosses" over Apple's mistakes and mishaps.

    My 4 year-old TiBook rocks hard core. However, if Steve doesn't get me a Yonah PowerBook tomorrow, I fear that new uber-Acer may be in my future.

    Wouldn't it be awesome if Steve not only gave us Intel PowerBooks but VMWare came out and supported it, so I could run VMWare on an Intel PowerBook and have a nice bit of XP on an awesome Apple-designed PowerBook?

    Better yet - if new Macs get the Merom upgrade, they may be able to run Vista as well.
