FYI: New Intel-based Macintosh information
As most of you probably know, Apple announced their Intel-"Core Duo"- based computers last week. There were two models:
- iMac starting at 1.83 GHz CoreDuo processor, 2MB on chip L2 cache at processor speed, 667 MHz system bus, 512 MB RAM, 160 GB hard drive, 8x SuperDrive, Bluetooth, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, wireless support of 802.11g, 17" LCD, ATI Radeon 1600 graphics, built-in iSight camera, Apple Remote control for media
- MacBook Pro: starting at 1.67 GHz CoreDuo processor, 2MB on chip L2 cache at processor speed, 667 MHz system bus, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB hard drive, 4x SuperDrive, Bluetooth, 10/100/1000 Ethernet, wireless support of 802.11g, 15.4" LCD, ATI Radeon 1600 graphics, built-in iSight camera, Apple Remote control for media
In conjunction with these announcements, Apple's "Universal Binary" initiative allows for applications that can support both older PowerPC Macintosh and new CoreDuo Macintosh machines. Software shipping with this logo will work with either platform out of the box. "Rosetta" is the environment provided with each CoreDuo Macintosh that allows OS X "non-Universal" applications to be run on those machines. Double-click the application icon and, behind the scenes, Rosetta dynamically translates most of your PowerPC-based applications to work with your Intel-based Mac.

Sounds great, eh Wayne.
Now if I could get someone to take my Powerbook G4/1.5 GHz (Al) 15" beauty off my hands, I could get one of these new Macbook Pros. Anyone interested? I don't quite know what it would be worth, but my thinking was that it should be in around the $1800 mark ... OBO of course.

Oooops. Somehow the CoreDuo link got mushed. It should be:
http://www.apple.com/imac/intelcoreduo.html
...and for the more "tech-head"ed in the crowd (the link includes a link to Core Duo Technical Documentation):
http://www.intel.com/cd/channel/reseller/asmo-na/eng/products/ platforms/mobile_platform/253227.htm
...and, for those with strong stomachs for marketing-speak such as, "This is not just a processor; it's a revolution":
