Remember back in 1983-1984. Steve Jobs at
Apple and his obsession with the anti-IBM
crusade. Remeber the 1984 commercial with
the hammer being thrown at "Big Brother" and
the intro of the Mac.
Remember when Jobs pitted the Mac division
against the Apple II division because he felt
the Apple II represented the old school of
thought like IBM.
Now it is 2003 and things have turned come
back full circle. Now IBM is the savior of
Apple. Funny how in the latest issue of PC
Magazine is a two page advertisement for
the G5 Mac extolling the virtues of the G5,
bragging about how IBM designed it based
on their Power4 architecture.
Hmm. Now IBM is the good guy.
Also, the claim that the G5 is the first PC
64-bit processor is also wrong. That title
belongs to AMD's Opteron chip which was
released in April, several months ahead of
the G5.
