[Rhodes22-list] computer virus and elle

The primary advantage to Intel chip will be price. You will be able to run 
Mac OS on cheap Intel Box. Having a dual boot system would be the best of 
both worlds.  Mac servers have never been more popular and thier laptops are 
hot sellers. I don't see Apple moving out of the computer business but no 
doubt consumer electronics has huge potential. for Apple It will be 
interesting to see if Apples new IPhone creates the same buzz as IPod. Apple 
tried to get in the PDA game way back when with the Newton....what a piece 
of crap!
