I imported my last CD in 2004, and I purchased my last CD (that wasn't
directly fromt he artist) in 2001. All my music gets into iTunes via the
Ethernet, as is the case for everyone I know.

Old printers? Perhaps. Most new printers don't need USB at all.

You are wrong.

Optical drives are a waste of space and most users never use them, or
use them so rarely there is no justification for having them on every
computer. If you really need one, buy an external one.

When did Apple sources ever say "Never Intel"?

Everyone who knew anything knew that Intel Macs were possible. OS X is
based largely on NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP, and OPENSTEP ran on Intel.
Certainly Intel Macs were a possibility. Admittedly, I didn't think it
would ever happen, but then I didn't think Motorola would fuck up the G5
line as badly as it did, nor that Intel would ever come out with a
decent low-power chip like they did.
