"On the very day the company officially announced its first Intel-based product, Apple's stock price closed at $80.86"<p>How cool!<p><a href="https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20060110/1818234_F.shtml" rel="nofollow">https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20060110/1818234_F.shtml</a>
I have some big nostalgia for that hero-banner image -- the pretty blue swooshes. I remember trying to replicate that style, watching hours of 3:2 480p tutorials in Paint.NET and Photoshop CS, so I could have the coolest signature in whatever php web forum I was haunting at the time...
Just to go a little further back, a contemporary TidBits article about the original PPC Macs.

Haha, I'd be more nostalgic if I hadn't bought a 68000-based Mac just before the announcement that Apple was transitioning away from Motorola in the 90’s. Same baloney about releasing additional (Motorola-then / Intel-now) models during the transition. It very quickly became an expensive boat-anchor. I think I was still paying on the loan I'd gotten it since I was a poor college student working auto repair to make ends meet.<p>I'm excited about the move to the new processor. Also super glad my 2013 MBP has had a good run. It's still totally adequate. 'Course that's a problem isn't it?<p>It'll be interesting to see how the year turns out for Apple - seems like you'd be nuts to buy an Intel Mac now, right?
Ha, this is cute :) Looks like the Rosetta link still works too: <a href="https://www.apple.com/sg/rosetta/" rel="nofollow">https://www.apple.com/sg/rosetta/</a>. Never really got to try it much, as I didn't really use Macs back then, although I'm curious if anyone from that time knows what the "oah" name stood for.
My very first Mac was the very first Intel Mac Mini, I remember at the time disputing getting a PPC Mac Mini instead for software compatibility. I'm glad I didn't. I was a long time Windows fanboy and that Mac Mini converted me.<p>That machine is still kicking, my dad was using it for web browsing until earlier this year. Firefox was for a long time the only modern browser he could use, and then even that stopped supporting 32 bit Macs.
"Transition accomplished"<p>I miss the days when Apple's taglines were always witty (they're still sometimes witty, but not consistently so.)
There seems to be quite a few of those remnants on the apple.com site, every few months I feel like I see one of these links for old school content and themes :)
