If the rumors are true, and Apple will start the transition to Intel in mid-2006, would it be dumb to buy any Mac without the Intel chip, meaning you'd be left behind when everything is switched to Intel chips after the transition ends?
Like for example, is an IBM processor like running Mac OS 9... with limited ability as far as programs go? And instead of just having to upgrade to Mac OSX, you'd have to upgrade your entire processor to Intel for most programs to work?
Hopefully I'm missunderstanding this, because this would totally suck because I was planning on buying a PB for college in the fall of 2006.
