[OT] Hell freezes over, pigs fly

[Andre Garzia]

Richard,

I don't think apple will move to x86 at this stage, I do think they are  
partening with intel for other chips that are not the CPU, like  
wireless chips and stuff like that. The Altivec thingy is not present  
on x86 chips right? so we would loose lots of number crunching  
features... it would be wise to partner with intel for their chips but  
not for changing CPU architecture...

PS: ... Actually I like ppc and am fond of ARM and hate x86.... but I  
am a romantic fool :D

cheers
andre
