Hell has frozen over and pigs are flying. Maybe. But nonetheless, it’s true: Intel processors are set to become a key part of the Mac experience within the next couple of years. When I first heard the rumor, I was moderately surprised. The Apple snob in me, as I think it did in many, was saddened, since you know, that’s what Windows uses, but the more I read about it and the more I think about it, it seems to make sense. I have no doubt that Apple will be able to retain all the parts crucial to the enjoyability of a Mac whilst eliminating those things that prevented the performance and market-share gains they are looking for.

Now might be a good time to buy that Powerbook, since you’ll have a long wait for the next ones.

So, we’ve returned from Door County once again. All of my body parts are sore after what was a very pleasant and marginally stimulating weekend. I swam alot and played on the beach and ate burgers. None of these at the same time. I could’ve bought a car but I didn’t and won’t, and we’ll just see what happens.
