Your comments are absolutely correct. It might also be interesting to point out that Intel has recently hired away practically the entire G3/G4 team away from Motorola after some internal Motorola political nonsense. Intel has even set up an entire design center around this team down in Austin where they plan to hire 1000 design engineers over the coming years. Apple is very aware of this and is planning ahead in case the "B" team at MOT can't keep up. As for IBM, they've pretty muched closed up shop with respect to consumer processors and have concentrated on their "server" processors like their "Gigachip" that run AIX and will soon run Linux. tc
