Just like back in 1994 when Apple claimed adverts they were the first to
launch a desktop computer with a 32 bit RISC processor - only 7 years
after the Acorn Archimedes was launched - they are decidedly second
again.

Now their latest adverts celebrating ditching a decent processor and
going cap in hand to Intel for marketing subsidies, they describe Intel
chips heing "set free" from PCs.

Surely it was LINUX that 'set free' PCs.
