Bellvie,

There was going to be one, the CHRP computers.

Gates nixed the idea of Windows support for the PPC. Probably one reason CHRP got canned.

Rhapsody will run on either chip. Chip speed has made emulation impracticle so far,
but I believe that soon chip speeds will be so fast that emulation will become transparent.

To see the new Apple spot, just go here and watch it:

apple.com

You don't have to watch boring network television waiting for it to appear.

"have you checked the Datek web site...must have been Mac-made??"

No, I haven't checked the Datek site. Yes, a trained eye can usually tell only because most web-designers on Wintel machines have not yet learned about using CLUTS and resolution tables to maximize their graphics.

That's why some Windows-based sites look really grainy, their graphics are disproportioned, and the colors look really strange.

"checked the Datek web site..."

Just looked at the site. Looks nice.

It's most likely Mac-made, but could also have been Unix.

THE TIP: Files end with ".html" Many Windows-based sites only support three character extensions and end with ".htm"

I doubt that some Unix guy would spend all his time creating an aesthetically pleasing site, so I suspect Mac.
