Not too long ago, I sold my iBook, right after the new MacBook was announced. I planned to buy that same MacBook somewhere this summer; however, I started to doubt. I had second thoughts. Let me explain why I decided to not buy a new Mac, but instead opt for a used G4 PowerMac. Note: After being absent for a week, here is another Sunday Eve Column.

What will be in the incentive for software companies to release mac versions of their software now that you can run Windows in emulation at near native speeds or dual boot?
The incentive would be, as always, money. A MacOS user is likely to want to run his SW under MacOS - no point in running MacOS at all, otherwise - hence there's a market for MacOS-specific SW, just like there's always been.
