Dorsal, ya disappoint me. No word at all would have been better. Not to get nasty, but are you becoming a "troll artist" now? String'n us along, and laugh'n all the way. Or is there some "legit" reason for say'n "All in good time". "Times a runn'n out ... ya burn'n daylight, Boy!"
Why the skepticism about France? AMD's monster fab is in Germany...</strong><hr></blockquote>
Oh, man.... ouch. Did somebody just imply that French engineering/manufactoring is comparable to German engineering/manufactoring?
Pegeot.... Mercedes.... Renault..... Porsche....
Cameca..... Siemen's,,,,,
I've used quite a bit of French and German engineered scientific equipment. I'll take German engineering/manufactoring. (though, when the French stuff happens to work, it's not too bad)

I think its a serious mistake to write off any particular country's new technology efforts. Things change fast in this industry, and there is plenty of money being thrown at it. China, for example, hasn't been known for being "high tech" but now that Intel and Motorola both have huge investments there, generalizations putting down the Chinese high tech industry would be a mistake. France has had some successes, they just haven't had the huge investments necessary to be a world leader in this industry -- that may be changing. The USA's strength isn't assured, either -- international snobbery is a mistake.

I agree. I really didn't mean for the message to be taken too seriously. I was just taking a cheap shot.
But you're right, I should be careful with my harmless cheap shots, they could be mistaken as an offensive by a frenchman, resulting in an immediate surrender of all of France.

Careful, they may still have a guillotine or two sitting around.
I'm beginning to wonder if ANYONE knows anything AT ALL. Doesn't it feel like we are all groping in the dark for a lamp, and someone like Dorsal goes, "Over here!" and we all stumble and trip in that direction for a while, until another 'helpful' person yells that they have something somewhere else.
Moki has a relevant post in disaster at MWNY, ( top of page 3) lending some credence to the spymac rumor, and answering some questions posted here, namely new 166 MHz bus & DDR ram. While no disaster this is less heartening than the pleasant suprise rumor.
Maybe Dorsal M knows what he's talking about and maybe he doesn't, but one thing's for sure. JYD is bi-polar.
One day he touts a given rumor as proof that an amazing Power Mac upgrade is coming, the next day he claims Apple is doomed. Get something through your head dude: NO ONE here has verifiable knowledge of ANYthing in terms of future Apple hardware. Therefore, the wise course of action is to not buy into any of it too much (whether its optimistic or pessimistic), and stop trying to predict Apple's future based on a friggin trade show, OK?

[Thoughtbubble] Maybe if I bump this thread, Dorsal will be able to find it easier and post some more info... [/Thoughtbubble]
oooorrrr, maybe not

Chill out lads!
Dorsal has yet to go on the pie-in-the-sky benders that Kormac has gone.
19 days to go.
Is it too soon for a countdown thread?

Hurry, Dorsal?The RDF is growing weak? Don't know how?gasp?much longer?gasp?I can hold on?
