I was present at Apple's WWDC yesterday and witnessed one of the historical moments in Apple's history, the introduction of their 64-bit platform. Am I impressed? The answer is complicated. I was happy to see Apple moving on and deliver. But I would have expected nothing less from a 4 billion tech company who had the need to catch up with the "other" platform, the 32-bit PC. You all heard by now what's new in yesterday's press releases and news coverings. But here is a wrap up of the first day of the conference and a commentary on what Apple really announced yesterday, underneath its surrounding distortion field.

I'm with stew and rajan - an excellent article, Eugenia! Very balanced and fair. This gives a much more realistic look at the G5 and Panther than most of what I've seen.
As a side note, as Eugenia said, the high end model is the one worth getting. It's getting into workstation territory. Right now, there's something that may not come again for who knows when. Because the iMac's and eMac's are the consumer models, that leaves the current Power Macs in sort of a limbo. They're offering a dual 1.25 GHz model starting at $1500.00. Not a bad opportunnity!
