[PD] PD and MacIntel

[David NG McCallum]

Having bought a Macbook when they just came out, I would say that if
you're sick of headaches, don't get an intel mac just yet. If you can
wait, I'd say wait until pd-extended gets built for intel macs and
then go ahead and buy one.

But buying a ppc mac now will be buying something's that's going to be
deprecated real fast.
