Garden of Delight
Apple Silicon promises to FINALLY move technology beyond the 1980s, and really not a moment too soon. The world of technology took an enormous flailing-arms step backward in 2006 when Apple moved from PowerPC to Intel, and now Apple is correcting that misfortune. What was up with that?
