APPLE MERGES WITH INTEL !
Today, Apple and Intel released the shocking news that they now
have merged into APTEL Inc., starting a new line of Computer Systems
featuring the Intel Pentium II processor and Linux Slackware Operating
System.
When MacWeek asked Apple's head man Tom Graham, why they now abandon
Motorola he answers: well, intel processors with a linux operating system
is clearly they way of the future, and with our merger with Intel,
Microsoft won't stand a chance, so UP YOURS Bill Gates!
Sources inside Intel have confirmed for MacWeek that the new Intel
Processors will have a built in bug that will make it in-compatible with
Microsoft Windows, any attempt to run Windows will cause a Program Fault.
Other sources say that this bug was first installed in the i386 processor
but the next version will be the final one, that will make it crash at
the "Starting Windows" level.

Apple: A year in the life
Remember the Newton? Back at the start of 1998
the Newton was still part of Apple's lineup, but handheld technology took a back seat to the iMac, a renewed drive to profitablity and efforts to finally rework the MacOS. It was a year of amazing change for a company that, just a year ago, was being wri
tten off as out of touch and unprofitable.  Editorial: Ring
