wintel?
 
Am i the only one whose ever heard the term wintel? Or do i just hang out with really non-geeky friends? Or then again is it a term localized to the mac comunity?

BTW: Wintel= Windows & Intel (once that was the common PC combination, guess i should add winamd, lintel, and linamd)

I've heard of it before, they used it alot back in the PentiumII days when Intel had no real competition from the K6 and K6-2's. Wintel boxes were pretty much the standard for everything:P
Not so is the case anymore. Thank god for that!
