It was much more innovative, and leading edge than the space prject, in a lot of ways. And, of course, the US could have beaten the soviets for the first guy in space if one of the X-15 pilots had just pulled up a bit...
(Yes, the X-15s were capable of breaching escape velocity, I think they were told quite carefully *not* to go up, however, as there was nowhere near enough fuel or dozens of other things to get back down...)
Okay, from all those things, Apple makes only the case, the motherboard, and the Firewire. that's it. Lucent, for example, created the Airport, it's got bugger all to do with Apple. Hell, the "Airport" card in my Powerbook is *exactly* the same as a Lucent integrated silver 806.11b wireless card, except for *one* thing... the PB is designed *not* to work with the Lucent brand card, and the Airport is designed *not* to work with anything but an Apple.
Sure, they *choose* their stuff reasonably well, and I'm a supporter of Apple, I own over twenty Macintosh computers, ranging from an Apple 1 board, to a dual processor 2.5Ghz G5 Powermac. but please, will you *learn* this crap before you write it? I know it would make you unique on Slashdot, but come on....
Also, that's a crap comparison... there is a huge difference in the price comparison between A) a Lexus and a Kia, and B) an Apple and a Dell, the ratios are completely off. And I mean, by miles.;)
Oh, a *noone*, and I mean *noone* should buy a Kia. I ride a 70s Ural, a cheap Russian bike, I bought it in pieces for about $300, and hell, I'd rather have that than a Kia.
Slashdot Mirror
But does it run PPC OSX? ;)

Of course, the maximum size of the doors is about 5'6"....

Intel? Making a high performance chip?

Alright then, who wants to bet these are for Apple?
