To clarify, I am still a fan of OS X operating system, but my opinion of 
their dual processor hardware is something we all need to be very 
cautious about, given widespread reports of processor problems.  I am 
hoping they will try to keep their customers satisfied, and academics 
are among their most loyal market-share.

Having said that, maybe we should be lobbying them to put OS X on intel 
or other PC hardware as an alternative to developing stereo for the mac 
computer.  (Rumors persist that this currently exists.)  I believe there 
is currently an intel port of Darwin, the BSD-part of OS X.  I've not 
tried it on my PCs because currently it is a lot easier for me at least 
to install and to use crystallogrpahy programs with Red Hat Linux 7.2 
than it is with Darwin/OS X.
