Apple Announces New Deal with Intel

On Monday, Apple announced that its next generation of computers would be powered by an Intel chip. This breaks a decade long arrangement will IBM. One report I read said that this announcement was like a computer version of Al Gore endorsing George Bush. Concerns that Apple developers would be miffed with this new arrangement were dispelled. Apple has special software that will enable older applications to run on the new chips. New models will not appear until Summer of 06, maybe later.
