That's 1200 posts.

minimum G4 1200Mhz. Let superstition and other craziness rule supreme.

I was 1200....say it like you mean it, baby!

The G5's gonna be 2.6 GHz, didn't you hear?

But the best thread ever (not the longest, but best) was one entiteld (best memory-based guess):


Why did Bill Gates visit Steve Jobs today at or around 1:00 pm?

With the first reply being:

For a quickie?


Priceless.

Someone declared it "Post of the year" and I have to agree.

Untill this insanely large thread gets a super-witty response like that, it won't come close, in my eyes, to being truly great.

20 hours to go. And we're talking about snow. If I were still in school, i'd have to ditch. I was a good kid, but this isn't something i could miss.

Ciao,
Talon :cool:

I have to agree.

I'm so thankful that I work at a small ad agency where my boss is a huge mac fan too...

We just shut the shop down for days like tomorrow.

Open the bar and gather around the LCD.

Anyone wondering where the Moto Mole that reported to MOSR and TheRegister is? Either he was full of it, or he's scared he might get caught and lose his job.

Wish he'd email one last message tonight on the fabbing progress of the G5

Did you notice what 10 cm did in Athens (uh, the one not in Georgia) the other day?

At least it's not Buffalo, NY. I noticed that they got something like 24 inches in 24 hours. What's cool is, that's not even close to their record.

I'll just be happy with the blizzard of gadgets Steve throws at us. Or else I'm jumping over to the <a href="http://forums.appleinsider.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=000661" target="_blank">Boo Steve and the Segway He Rode On thread.</a> One or the other.</strong><hr></blockquote>

We had around 10-12 inches of snow around New Year's (not in one day) and that was nothing to get worried about.

It's not that we're used to that much snow here in Denmark - we have perhaps about 3 weeks with snow in total during a winter season, and the snow we got between December 20 and December 31 is now gone.

And now over to sports

Seems a lot of 'insiders' have gone by the way-side... DorsalM and Codename haven't posted in quite a while (for net time at any rate) Kormac is still posting away but that's about it... Maybe the letter from Steve (as per Think Secret) scared em... But then again Dorsal claims to not work for Apple in the first place... Dunno...

I just don't remember when... but then, all the archives are gone, right?

In anycase, apparantly they get together to play chess every once in awhile or something.

.......just thought this thread could use some help :o

Cool synonym. The next time I'm on a party, I'ma go to a chick and ask her if she want's to play chess with me.
That's the real meaning of "to check out girls.

Whaaa? This thread is the best ever! Thanks Fran441!

Buffalo, NY got over 7 feet of snow (that's about 2.1 meters for the the metrically blessed) in a period of 3 days. :eek: If anyone is watching the weather channel -- you're sick. No, if you're looking at the precipitation map for the northeast US, see that light green rainy area next to gray light snow area? I'm about 3-5 pixels into light green. I can't help but think of Catch 22 when everyone as staring at that map with the battle line drawn on it. They had to make a bombing run to move the line. So Yossarian discreetly moved the line in the middle of the night, and they didn't have to make the bombing run -- they moved the line after all. That's where I am right now.

Unfortunately, I have a big deadline this Friday, so come hell, high water or blizzard, I have to be at work. What's even worse is that the deadline will distract me from my rumor-mongering duties. Uh, I mean, the Apple rumors will distract me from my big deadline -- yeah, that's it.

I have to get up early so I look good for the bosses. Oh, great, now I am worrying about work. What's worse is that they just upgraded all machines to Win2k (just in time for 2002) and the three top-end machines that used to run NT are not accepting change gracefully. I'm working on one of them. People joke about blue screens and how now Apple has bluescreens on OS X, but this is bad. Every log-in, no matter the user and it goes *boom* almost instantly.

Ok, I've done my part...

Must Post... Must.... Reply.......

Was that OK for a serious, post that will help with our goal of a 97 TeraHz G7?

Dave

justmy two cents

Fran, do you still think Codename is Nick de Plume as per that Think secret screenshot?

<a href="http://www.digi.no/dtno.nsf/pub/dd20020104141735_kvi_80406958" target="_blank">http://www.digi.no/dtno.nsf/pub/dd20020104141735_kvi_80406958</a>

From the chief of Apple Norway:
"This time we will surprise even the most creative dreamers"

"On monday, we shall wake up the computer industry"

hmmm... I smell a revolution. Or maybe its just a 66 Mhz speed bump?

Yah Fran, how's it feel to be the poppa of a 1200+ post thread?

And hey, I remember the "Codename is Nick DePlume" thing. There was a photo that had -somebody's- iDisk pulled up onscreen, right? On a photo posted at Think Secret?

There was a reason given for plausible deniability for that, but I lost interest quickly on the whole deal. Can't remember why it was important.

Anyhow, I need to put down my iBook and pick up the phone to track down somebody who could record the keynote for me now.

My plan is to avoid the radio and the 'net until somebody can hand me the tape of the keynote so that I can see it unfold for myself.

Wish me luck!

I NEVER SAW SNOW IN MY WHOLE LIFE ! ... the temperature here is about 27 degress Celsius and I am sweating like a 3 headed dog playing catch with satan

another statement : it's january ! no classes here . at 3:00 PM I will be watching grand meister jobs speaking through the webcast.. but I will have to wait at least 1 month to buy any new macs !!

could any of you ship me a brand new dual g5 1.6 ?

and now, something completely different :

the US postal service says : "We cannot ship the new powermac G5"
(remember vuescan)

I think we'll even get a 67MHz bump.

No, the iBook and Airport were around when the dual machines were announced... Thats why they have airport slots.

doesn't anyone find it odd that there is not a scrap of *real* evidence for any of the announcements tomorrow?

over the past few years there has always been a crappy picture to pour over. remember the pic of the quicksilver g4 that macosx.org had?

Off topic:

Come and visit me in Norway
I was borned in the northern most city in the world. Hammerfest. The climate is not too bad actually (costal climate). Only snow for about 7 months/year.

I said:
"Dual machines came MWNY 00, not 99. Then (which refers to MWNY 99, sorry for the confusion) came the iBook and Airport.

And check out this: fake, for sure, but looks quite photo-like. Perhaps edited with iPhoto?

Thats about it.. Only those two comments from Apple,- the rest is the writers opinion.

Lets try something new: What are Apple doing of "extras" around the world? What have Apple France, Apple Sweden, Apple Germany aso done extra for this show that they haven´t done before or which remarks have the local Apple representatives said or done that is special?

We just read the statement from Apple Norway. Apple Denmark has invited the general public to see the keynote at two locations (for the first time ever? Heklp me here JLL). Normally its only press, resellers aso.
