Still, the half-life of a computer really is only 4 yrs these days ... and we'll just have to limp along with older versions of software for a few months before it's time to upgrade. All in all, I'll still buy.

I know... it's already been discussed in some places...
But, I'm still quite confused on that point...
I'm looking forward for the oct. 19th announcement, but I'm not sure about what's gonna happen when "Mac-Intel" chips will be released...

Please, let me know what you think...



P.S. I know I will only get speculations here... but that might help me making important choices!
