Apple splutters after man says AMD first to 64-bit desktop

Re-defining the desktop paradigm
Friday, 18 July 2003, 09:02
THERE'S A FUN interview with the Apple hierarchy over at Digital Video Editing.

After telling interviewee Charlie White all about Mac OSX and the G5, they're challenged about the statement that Apple has released the "first 64-bit desktop".

Charlie makes the Apple marketeers splutter when he mentions that BOXX shipped a dual processor 64-bit desktop on June 4th.

At first they try and tough it out, but then try and redefine the meaning of desktop.

Nor do the Apple folk seem aware that the Opteron is a 64-bit processor.

Here. Thanks to reader and BOXX user Matt Hiltner for noticing it. ยต
