Thread: iMac

  1. #1

    iMac

    Apple have announced their new iMac, which runs on an Intel Dual Core processor.
    <blockquote>

    Applications with the ?¢_oUniversal?¢__ symbol are designed to run natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs. So whichever type you own, you can be sure your software will run at peak performance.

    </blockquote>

    The machines will allow Windows to be installed on them, so will allow dual booting.

    I can't wait to see FPC running on it and hopefully this is what Borland have been waiting for on the Delphi front ( fingers crossed ).

    Btw, if you had not noticed, the word "Power" has been removed from the Mac branding.

    Normally I'd be the first to jump on in and say, "yeah I hope so too!", but in this case... sadly it may yet not happen. At least as far as Danny Thorp of Borl-err *ahem*... Google had to say about it.

    However, that does not mean that FPC and Lazarus will be swayed from supporting it. And for that I'm glad.

    Since he no longer works for Borland, maybe the new blood will see things differently and see it as a challenge rather than as a hurdle.
