I suggest that moki posts a PGP encrypted message and posts the correct key to decode it on tuesday.
In that message he could write what he knows but isn't allowed to say and proves for the rest of us that he isn't just making so vague comments because he doesn't know more than we do.
I've been thinking they might have a workstation also. They dropped the number of PCI slots to three, while at the same time they seem to be making a push for the higher end users (with all of they're software acquisitions.) I'd love to see quads. The idea of a dual "low end" machine would be slightly odd, though.
question remains what hardware will be available Monday
and you haven't opened one yet?? just kidding....gotta keep at least one surprise for monday's keynote....plus we aren't worth losing a cool apple store job over
It will only take Doom 3 and Half Life (or maybe just Doom 3 ), and the rest amounts to, "if you build it, they will come". If half life and doom 3 both perform significantly faster on Powermac, then gamers will begin migrating to the Mac.
But only if these games really ship for Mac. And who knows what company acquires the interactive division of Vivendi before Half-Life 2 is released. Remember Halo and what happened to Half-Life.
But a G5 with a current graphics card should attract developers as well as gamers - no question.
BTW: Just realised that I was dumb enough to choose "Email Notifaction" and discovered 50 new mails on my webmail account. Thanks, people!

This is a fantasic idea!
Everyone seems to trust that Moki is truly 'in the know'... is there any reason for this? Not doubting here,it's just that I am a noob here and curious how he gained this trust without giving out any 'classified' info.
personally, i think moki's posts are retarded. if you're under an nda, why bother? ridiculously ambigious mutterings on already circulating rumors.
i'm not trying to get you to prove anything, cuz i don't think you have squat. i just think you are annoying.
He isn't under a NDA. If he was under a NDA he wouldn't even be allowed to hint at what was coming and it's obvious to Apple who is posting when he posts so there would be repercussions if he broke a NDA.
Whether he chooses to not say it straight out because he's protecting people or because it's more fun his way I don't know but he definitely does have information. He has shown that time and again.

This is interesting though... he must get his info from someone under an NDA, and if he says too much he would risk getting that person in trouble. Either way, it isn't a smart thing to do considering someones job is at stake. Which makes the idea of him being 'in the know' suspect, IMO.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the G5 will also be at 2.5Ghz when announced, though not necessarily ready to ship immediately. I think Apple really wants that ballbusting chip...

if not, I'll eat crow.
I think Apple really wants to ship dual Power4+'s at 1.7GHz in every iMac, but what would be ideal and what reality is are often two very different things. Just because it would be nice doesn't make it practical.
Hope you cook it before you eat it. Those things carry some nasty diseases.

it surrounds Jobs and drags you in if you get too close, even if you just watch a QuickTime stream.
cheers.
as for the wrong "W" word...
i think he means "wallaby" because australia will be the first country to get the new PMs

I think W = Workstation...

Not that I want to go out in the Florida heat, and sweat my arse off while decapitating blades of grass...
And anything else that gets in the way...
About 53+ hours to go until the keynote is 'live' on the web...
(I decided not to go to Tampa for the show...)
;^p

Let me put it this way, because it also fits for Apple and the G5: Nie mehr zweite Liga!
