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.

Apple said that their low-end system (which comes with a Super drive mind you) is $2,000. Take out the Super drive, and the price goes down a few more hundred. If thats not inexpensive-enough for you, its important to remember that they're still selling the G4s... now at a STEEP discount.
Personally, at their "steep" discount (which is really a couple of hundred dollars) is not worth the price. Take the $1,600 Dual 1.25GHz G4. I would get far more with a AlienWare Hive-Mind with Pentium 4 @ 2.66GHz, 512MB DDR PC3200, NVIDIA GeForce™ FX 5600 256MB and Samsung combo drive for $59 less.
