Well, from what I've read here and seen online, and after sleeping on 
it, I'm more convinced than ever that Apple is doing nothing wrong.  
They see AMD 64-bit machines offered as servers and workstations with a 
processor designed for servers and workstations.  Apple can't be taken 
to task for what the end users are doing with those machines.  I know 
there had been some questions about this online, but you all have now 
convinced me that Apple is selling the first 64-bit 'personal computer'.

Thank you...
