its true the main cnet story doesn't say x86...but it has come down since then that it is in fact x86-64, by that I mean, generally reliable sources on the mac sites....

of course, we'll know in a few hours, so no need to jump the gun.

it took me all weekend to grasp that this is probably x86-64, but then again....

upon further examination, this is good news for apple...apple runs on a BSD core, BSD already runs linux apps natively, and os x already supports x server...

in other words, apple is moving in to co-opt the linux market...its not a leap, you have the real linux...and then yuo have this unix variant that can also run linux, and has microsoft office and adobe photoshop and thousands of other programs...one linux having trouble getting to consumers, another company that already sells millions of units per year to consumers....

its not impossible to think that linux and mac os x keep their momentum going (and now combined)...to both's advantage.

where does that leave amiga?  no where.
