Confirmed: New Powerbook
Ok, here's the deal. This isn't another story about getting my nephew who works for Apple blitzed out of his mind to make him spill the beans. Nope, this is for real.
I traveled to San Fran last week, and on my way back they searched my titanium Powerbook. While the piggy was searching it, she said, "you see the new ones?". I told her that's the newest powerbook, and she replied "No, I saw the latest one yesterday". She says it looks like mine but has more curves, and is slightly larger. I didn't believe her, but then this guy in front of me says, "that one isn't released yet". I asked him when it would be, and he got real scared and just shrugged his shoulders and walked away.
So I'm on the flight back home, and this guy sat next to me. I began ordering lots of drinks, and kept passing them off to this guy. He smiles, says "who are you, Junkyard Dawg?" LOL, I'm well known! I'm like, you mean the guy at AI forums? He's like, yeah, we've been watching him. He's 50% BS, but we sure would like to know where he gets his other 50% from. Then I ask about the Powerbook prototype, and he's like, well, you heard the lady. It's a new Powerbook enclosure. This one will give us more options for drives and mobos. You'll see it soon enough.
That's all he would say. I asked if he worked for Apple but all he would do is grin and start fondling his iPod. Make of this what you will, but I think it confirms that a new Powerbook is in the works, and will be ready for release at MWSF.

Lies, lies, lies. Bad ones, at that.
Like the one guy he sits next to on a plane is going to know some mother****er off a Mac forum, as if he's legendary.
And airport security couldn't find their couch in the living room, so they wouldn't know two flying damns about a new ANYTHING from Apple.
Nobody's buying this time 'round.
<strong>ahem.

Exactly what I was thinking.
Anyway, JD great story. Just like old times.
Someone over at badflamigo had the same thing happen to them as well. That's one busy airport
I have always loved these types of Apple stories. Â*Kinda like Apple folklore! no, Kinda like Apple BS!
It's all true.
I'm not lying.
Really!!!!
Junkyard Pulp Fiction
Junkyard Dawg, no one is going to listen to you from now on so you might as well change your handle and try again.
Plagerizing other fiction from other boards and passing it off as your own. Smart, eh?
I was the guy in the airport! I was just pulling your leg! And you bought it!
hahahahahahaha!
Time will tell, in the meantime, keep up the good sleuthing. I'm elated that someone discovered one of my "sources".
You will all see for yourselves when the new Powerbook is announced, perhaps at MWSF. Apple has learned from the past, and they intend to maintain the Powerbook's status as the best laptop available. Mark my words, they will be vindicated in the near future.

<strong>Hehe, at least some of you know up from down around here. You are quite correct, my story was not at all original. But that doesn't make it fictitious.

Wow, after reading this I don't find you as much of a jerk as I did before.
