    $3000 for a nice new G5

    $699 for a SCO-enchanced Linux kernel

    THAT is the question;)

    G5s start shipping? I know this is in error--shipping has been around a LOT longer than the G5s. I think shipping was invented by FedEx in the 80s.

    I'm afraid Apple is dying my friends.

    Dude, that is SO true! In fact, Apple has been dying since 1985, if not earlier. It's been a long, slow, miserable death with nothing to show for it.

    Forget all of the things Apple has brought to computing. Forget the Music Store. Forget the G5s. Forget OS X. Forget the XServe. Forget their pro apps. Forget that they're making money while everyone else but Dell is losing money.

    They are done! Toast! Finished!
