When do you think Apple will drop PowerPC support

I was just thinking: it must be expensive for Apple to keep providing
universal binary support for new software / operating systems.

I suspect the only reason they introduced it was to stop people who
own f.cking slow G4s and G5s from BAAAWING about obsolete hardware.

Suppose 10.6 is called Lion. I reckon they'll say, right, you must
have an Intel 8.0 GHz Core Qaudro minimum with 4 Gigs of Ram to run
it. And they'll say the clock speed of the fastest G5 is too f.cking
slow to run OS X Lion.

I mean they have to stop sometime, right? Surely all that sh.t is
taking up double the space on my hard drive? For instance I have
Office 2008. I bet there's code there for both PowerPC and Intel.
Well, guess what mother-f.cker? I don't want the PowerPC code eating
up my disk space.

Stop f.cking your mother.
Diskspace costs next nothing these days,
(on the way to 0.10 euro/GB)
And worrying about it is a waste of your time
(unless your time is worth nothing)

I stand corrected. You have a very good point.

I still get a shock when I see how cheap a 4GB USB flash drive is, for
example.
