Will You Stick with Apple, After the Switch?

Posted by Cliff on from the ode-to-the-ppc dept.

caseykoons writes "While I understand the /. crowd is likely to be biased, I am curious. Has Apple's decision to switch to Intel Chips lost the company some of its old supporters? I have used Macs since I grew up, was a loyal 'Mac Evangelist' back in the '90's, but the company's decision and the recent connection to Trust Computing have had me wondering if I will stick with the old Apple from now on. What are your thoughts?"

    So if your looking to jump off the Apple boat because you don't like TC, what are you going to post to Slashdot on? A Windows Box?

    So lets look at the options here:

    A) I'm skipping out on a lifetime of mac loyalty and I'm going to run a PC

    B) I'm skipping out on a lifetime of mac loyalty and I'm going to run *NIX even though it's UI is terrible.

    C) I give up, I'm going to use an etch a sketch and an abacus.

    D) Ok, I guess I'll stick with a mac.
