Wallstreet Assault?

Eric, you really confused me.

Think Dinner. Since we think a major advantage of G3 chips is low power use (heat) and fast speed due to (in part) backside cache, what is gained by putting a pc board inside a nice Apple case?

Now, if you said MSFT had Windows98 (or WINCE) for the G3 chip, that would be a tempting blasphemy.

If you said one of the windows emulations was being bundled with a high-end Wallstreet, and it blew the doors off Wintel Laptops running native, that would be sweet.

But if I have to suffer with a Wintel laptop, I wouldn't care if it looked like a Lone Ranger Lunchbox.

While Wallstreet looks great, I want one because it is Apple & Friends inside. People would say- 'ooooo! Whats That!' and I would get to say 'Um. it's a Macintosh. Bill Gates, your Evil Overlord will not allow you to have one. Nannynanny poo-poo!'
