Speculation on Apple Computer's future

Ever since I switched recently and for a little while before that too I have been following news about Apple. There is an interesting article on Robert X. Cringley's "I, Cringley" page about the future of Apple following the creation of a separate iPod division. Mr. Cringley evaluates it in relation to a 20 year old quote from Steve Jobs. Interesting items include "What most people don’t know is that Apple, with the assistance of Intel, a few years ago ported all its software to run on Intel’s Pentium processors."
