countdown to new g5's...
i'm sure all of you have read this from AI:
Power Mac G5
Meanwhile, updates to the company's flagship line of professional desktops are nearing release, with the sources citing January 20th or later as a potential time-frame. Recent reports on the subject have been crossed with mumblings of project 'q38'; a tracking name which is rumored to pertain to the desktop revision itself or the new series of 90-nanometer PowerPC G5 chips that will power them.
During the week of Macworld Expo, sources were vouching for the completion of the q38 project and claimed that the units were ready for introduction. "We were kind of expecting them," one source said excitedly, "I don't know what the hold up is... they're done. Maybe they're attempting to distance announcements or have yet to build up a consistent supply of the microprocessors."
with that said, i'll start the countdown at 7

Wasn't it usually Tuesday for hardware, and Saturday for software a while back?
Saturday Software is usually released
This of course is not a religious schedule, so it can change with people getting mad, an nobody giving a damn about them... see?

Ahh I meant the time. What time during the day is it? I remember the first iBook was released about 9AM PST. Does that sound about right?
It all depends where:
If It is in Paris, then you will hear about it whenever the Stevenote? occurs. If they are releasing it from Cupertino, probably 9AM, that is a good bet. And if they are releasing iPodmini's, at MWSF, it will be whenever the Stevenote? occurs.

i started this thread as a way to have a solid, nice countodown to new powermacs, and a bunch of random numbers keep showing up (dont worry about them if you dont follow). anyways... i was hoping this thread would start a little more discussion about the new pm's, but the other threads sorta took over. nevertheless, the countdown rolls on....
I still say dual 3Ghz G5

i'm so excited!!!
I'm pretty stoked too. I've been waiting on the 3GHz for a while. I have no real idea of when these are coming out, or if there is going to be an announcement on the 24th, but I'm still pretty excited.
Don't confuse that with with actually expecting anything.
I don't believe any rumours until Apple announces it.

I'm with you... but I don't REALLY believe ANYTHING from Apple until I see it at a store or it arrives at my door. I sure hope we don't have to wait 3-4 weeks AFTER the upcoming announcement. (PB 17") That would be "el-sucko"... "here's what we are giving you... a few weeks from now"
Sure wish I would have had iLife 04 this week... my latest DVD project is due about 30 minutes before FedEx is due at my door on Friday. I guess I am happier with the wait than I would be with buggy software.
Apple will do things when it is ready. That's cool. But if they are "spacing announcments out" for dramatic effect - that's a foul.
90nm up to 2.6 ... surely that can ship by early Feb...
