    Man these are nice machines. Let's hope we can get someone to spur faster processor development ASAP or Apple is dead.

    1. Cost.
    2. Number of people who use it.
    3. Apple only does it for bragging rights.

    This is great news, since Apple stopped licensing their hardware development and put the 'mac clones' out of business.

    All we need now is someone to build an Apple compatible based on the AMD Opteron... that will scream!
