Sorry for the error.
Welll...still. 'Personal computer' is debatable also. Sun had the Sun Blade 100/150 out for $995 before the PowerMac G5 came out, and thats a 64bit processor machine also.

Anyways, the G5 is nice, but you can't attribute that as a technology that Apple has pioneered. Apple is just popping it into a box and selling it...(basically).

Apples technology wins are things like OS X, Rendevous, Quartz, etc.
