No I mean leapfrog. Right now there is no great compelling reason for someone to buy for instance a high end Powerbook vs a high end Thinkpad. You may believe a Powerbook is superior but it's still not compelling and even less so with 300 Mhz PII machines. You don't view things as an average purchaser since your biased toward Mac. I'm not so while I'm willing to say the Powerbook appears well designed and fast, the Thinkpad is also well designed and fast. The copper chip may change that by allowing Apple to produce portable products that are very compelling to consumers and that's why I said leapfrog. As Bill mentioned copper may allow products with capabilities we haven't yet seen. Rich
