iMac with AMD Inside
In honor of Apple’s announcement yesterday of Intel-powered Macs at Macworld, I post here this photo I took in 1999 in San Francisco.
A new Apple ad was being painted over an AMD ad making it look like a billboard for an Athlon-powered iMac. Here’s a photo from a slightly different angle.
Update: I’m also adding this photo to the Silicon Valley Tourist gallery to welcome Intel to the Mac fold.
Update 2: When adding the Intel pic, I inadvertently caused some pictures (Adobe, Woz) to disappear. They’re back up. For Apple pictures go here. I just now need photos of Google.

My first thought when I saw it was…”hmmm…Apple should do it that way!”

That Apple use AMD chips instead of Intel ones? Yeah, that is/was not an uncommon sentiment among some Apple pundits and fans.
