Today is big day for me…I have used an Intel Mac. Yes, right now as I am typing I am on an Intel iMac (1.83GHz) at the Apple Store in SoHo, New York. It is AWESOME!!!!!!! All of the Universal apps (runs on PowerPC and Intel) run FAST, and the PowerPC appes seamlessly and invisibly emuleted with Rossetta run slower than the Universal apps, but are fin for me because I’m used to running apps at G4 speeds. One last word of note…INTEL IS THE FUTURE OF APPLE!!!!!

I’ve had mine for a week and I love it! It came with 512M of RAM, but I added another 1GB right away and it made a huge difference. It’s a LOT faster than my 1.5 GHz PowerBook G4. Even MS Office X runs about the same speed or a bit faster than on my PowerBook. The most impressive thing about it is that it *IS* a Mac. It looks, acts, and feels exactly like any other Mac except it’s a lot faster. A casual user wouldn’t even realize they’re using an Intel CPU.
Did you notice how fast it boots, how fast applications launch, and how windows just SNAP open immediately. That makes it so much nicer to use.
