OTOH, Apple embraced it, so no biggie.
Just a reminder to one of the hard-headed bozos of this ng, immoutahere,
who thinks nothing good ever comes out of Wintel land.

In your less than one-cell brain, you do remember that Macs are moving
to Intel next year, perhaps about the time this gets well-implemented.


You seem to have missed the point, as usual, Jim.

The innovation and leadership of the computer market is with Wintel,
not Apple.


Haha, that's so funny because it's so absurd!

How's that floppy drive going, Edwin? :) 

Hey Loopy, what type computer is this going to appear in first, a PC or
a Mac?   Who invented it, Apple or Intel?


Better connect your printer to that parallel bus, Edwin! Quick! And remember to plug that PS/2 mouse and keyboard in *before* you boot your PC, or they won't be recognized! 
Who uses PS/2 devices these days?
