Ars Technica continues their reporting on what the switch to Intel chips mean for Apple and it's future. Very insightful as it lays out a strategy for Apple's transitioning of its computers.

The article also discusses the PPC mythology inherent in Macs today. I don't have to tell you that I bought into that myth also. I think it is true that I am geeky enough to recognize the elegance in the PPC architecture. It, like a Mac, is well thought out.

It also touches upon Apple's future. One that I am worried about. I have always wanted to write Mac programs. If there is no Macintosh left in the future what would I do when I retire? Apple is changing as a company. The personal computer industry is changing. Switching to Intel is just the start of it. In the upcoming years, I think Apple will no longer be the computer company it is now. It is the beginning of the end and the end of the beginning.
