Folks don't mind paying $50+ per hour for their vehicle repairs, but nobody wants to pay that sort of money to get their operating system de-loused.
I think that's a major part of the problem. It's hard to make money as a retail computer repair technician, and it's not a fun career. I would guess that the good ones aspire to move away from retail as soon as they are able.

They need to be able to understand all aspects of the design.
Propane is just a burning gas, but gasoline employs internal combustion engines and refineries and all that.
They're more relaxed than they used to be, especially for their businesses, but they still try to keep it down to basics where feasable.
Their buggies need blinking lights by law, so they have no choice but to give in on some technologies.
all the Amish retailers here use the same sort of thing. They can light a supermarket with redirected light during daylight hours, and light up the propane system once the natural light is gone.
You can run your CDE off your Solaris or OpenVMS box, then display the X11 on your Mac desktop.
The Gimp works pretty nice too. Version 2.2!
Now if only there was better clipboard support...

And how is this different from hyperhreading?
Seriously, is there a difference, or is this just a marketing name to differentiate the two?
You forgot a single core + a triple core! :-)
Let me see if I have this right...
Apple creates something beautiful again, and everybody says "Wow, it's perfect, but it's an Apple".
Then within a few months {"Intel", "Dell", "Microsoft", "Compaq"} tells the rest of the world "it's alright, go ahead and start copying Apple".
So everybody does, and tells {"Intel", "Dell", "Microsoft", "Compaq"} how great they are.

yes, their webserver runs on Cyrix processors too!
But Apple do not really sell software at all.

Rainbow Magazine used to ship with a floppy record every once in a while.
It had the same code on it that was listed in the magazine in text, but the record came without the typing and type-o-ing.
Rainbow Magazine was a magazine with content based around the Tandy/Radio Shack Color Computer.
Didn't Trustworthy Computing used to be about DRM? How did it suddenly turn around to mean information security?
With the cross-licensing agreements with Intel, will VIA be prohibited from transitioning these technologies into their chipsets for the AMD platform?
If you've been waiting tor stem cell research to help you grow antlers, it looks like you're out of luck. Sorry, folks.
