Of Intel Macs and Men

How-To 0

This is Apple’s fourth major transition (Apple II to Macintosh, Motorola 68xxx processors to PPC, Mac OS Classic to OS X, PPC to Intel) and bumps in the road can certainly be expected. For some people, those bumps might mean the end of their use of Apple computers. For the vast majority, they won’t care as long as Apple’s legendary ease of use doesn’t change.

MyMac Podcast 29 – Intel and Apple

This special edition podcast is all about Intel and Apple. Click here to download the show in MP3 file format.

This edition is sponsored by Small Dog Electronics

At the start of the show, Tim mentions that because this is a special early in the week edition of the podcast, there would be no Not Mac News with Chris Seibold. Turns out Tim spoke prematurely! Chris came through after the show was recorded with a new NMN, so with a little bit of GarageBand and QuickTime Pro editing, NMN is here.

What does the announcement of Intel in all future Macs mean to the users, the developers, and everyone in between? Chad and Tim take over a half-hour on just that subject.

Please share your thoughts with us. We would love to hear from you. What do you think of this news? Send either regular email or MP3 audio files to mymacpodcast@gmail.com
