no, it isnt about that, its about apple's adds which say they are better. Im sure all of us recall the adds around the iMac era... where the G3 toasts pentium or something similar... it seems very contradictary that apple woudl choose pentium then.
I forget what thread I was in... but at the bottom it has the "Similar Threads" anyways, this topic had nothing to do with the recent one I was looking at. Well anyways, the title of course made me curious.
I don't see it happening anymore either. I mean, it was talking about Apple going with Intel's 64-bit processor and currently I'm on a 64-bit processor so apparently they didn't go with Intel.
I just happened to be looking through the threads on this particular topic, and although it is definately a dead argument as to whether or not Apple will get a new chip maker or not (Good reason not to get Stock tips from internet forums), what really interested me the most was the dates of the conversation. March 20th I was busy kicking off the Coalition Air war, and on the 23rd we moved to An Najaf, Iraq only about 3 miles behind the tanks. Now I know what I was thinking aobut those days, but what I'm wondering is what was going on in the minds of some of those in this thread. I'd like to envision that at least CNN (or my new personal favorite, Fox News) was on the TV in the background as these mind numbing questions were thrown around cyberspace. While you guys were busy pissing in each others corn flakes about Prcessor hardware, was any one even aware that we were at war, lives were being lost, and that we were winning the most decicive military victory in history?
yes, there was a war. yes i knew about it, but i cant drop everything on my mind to focus on one thing. i spent many more hours talking to my friend in the army in fear it could be the last time i talked to him than i did on this topic, but i still thought about this topic.
