Fun, the only problem is that MS and Intel will be supporting only x86
systems with the newest and best software releases. MIPS, Alpha, and PPC
code always take a backseat at MS.

IMO, Apple has the skills to produce AWESOME PPC systems that can run any
OS. All they have to do is swallow a little pride. If I had the option of
buying a PPC system with all of the features of any Apple box (plug &
play, dual SCSI, ethernet, large RAM ceilings, excellent graphics
performance, etc...all integrated) that would run NT, Solaris, MacOS,
Linux, etc., I would not even consider another vendor. In addition,
Apple's systems would look alot better than you aver computer too!

As it stands now, I use RISC workstations and PC's at work, and have an
8100/80 and P90 at home. The 8100/80 is my favorite system out of the
lot. It is fast, hassle-free, runs cool software, and integrate into the
internet and my company net with ease.
