[WelMac] Apple Mac Pro Announced today

[Jo Booth]

Indeed, I, a self confessed Mac geek, was up at 5am on Tuesday to see  
what happened as it happened.  I'll be taking part in an  
international panel discussion on the implications shortly. 210 days  
to transition all mac to intel - pretty fast :)

You can watch the keynote online now: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/
