Just because Apple is going with Intel doesn't mean they're going to stop
supporting the PPC. Plus what's the their release time frame for those
systems? Late 2006? 2007? If anything I'm more likely to wait for Intel
based Mac's to come out before upgrading from my G3 hoping that
misinformation will cause people to sell off G4's and G5's cheaper than
they'd normally go for.
