Apple's shares yesterday closed at $80.86 on the day CEO Steve Jobs introduced the first-ever Macintosh computers based on Intel microprocessors.

Astute Register readers will immediately recognise that number: the 8086 was, of course, Intel's first 16-bit, x86 processor. It shipped in 1978, the year after Apple was founded. It contained 29,000 transistors and clocked a massive 5MHz. That's 5MHz, not G5MHz, of course.

That cool, like the guy who wagered $1337 on Jepardy. However the 8086 operated at 4.77Mhz, not 5Mhz.

Alls I know is that Apple stock has been a 6 bagger at least in the last 3 years. If I was Microsoft, I'd be much more worried about Apple than Google. Apple represents a much greater threat to MSFT's cash cows than Google does, and is in a much greater position to inflict damage quickly and without recourse.
