<strong>The first line where you tell us the G5s wont come out till 2003 at the earliest or what? I trust my gut, which happens to work in Motorola. Does that mean I know when the G5 is coming? no, but I sure as hell have a better idea of it.

Dude, if you work for Motorola in any important capacity, then I'm the King of Spain. Go home, kid. Logic abounds here, and that ain't your game.
uh, he didn't claim to be in a high posistion, he said that though he works for motorola he still doesn't know anything except he assumes the g5 is close, for all we know he could work for motorolas walkie-talkie division, so suckful I think your the one being childish, all that aside I am still confidant that we will see g5 towers and apollo tibooks[one of my reasons}, if the towers hit 1.6+ ghz with a g5 then the tibooks would look like shit, unless they have a 1.4 apollo in them
<strong>if i were looking for the g5, i'd be looking towards ibm instead.</strong><hr></blockquote>
hehe, is that some native indian chief spirit hint?
"Look towards where the eagle lays in a nest and the grass flows green"
Yes, I have heard that IBM is fabbing the G5s but I also heard they are having a cache problem preventing them front getting a high quantity of chips. So, not sure what to believe anymore.
What I've heard (just on the rumor boards, no direct inside info here) is that Motorola was having trouble with the cache/speed and Apple excercised an option in their contract to farm out the G5 production to IBM. To my knowledge IBM isn't having any problems with production, although I'd have to guess that they're behind whatever schedule Motorola was on.
Its amazing how one site posts something (like a rumour about cache problems limiting speeds) and suddenly everybody is repeating it so frequently they all believe its true. Remarkable.

Actually, the cache problems were limiting chip yield not speed
As for the one site...that's all we have to go on. How do we know it's not real?

well, i can't say much. but i'd say we shouldn't be watching moto for info on the g5. take it for what you will, i'm not trying to gain any credibility or "in the know" status. just might help glean more info if we're pointed in the right direction.

Dear King of Spain:
Please come take Florida back for Spain. It is being overrun by idiotic tourists with rodent-like hats, ignorant yankees who cannot fill out a voting ballot and old ladies with blue hair.

Hey Florida native guy, how long have you lived here? You got tourists in any hot post, old people are in every state and yankees are everywhere up north and you got the surfers out west. I happen to like it here and would never live anywhere else.
"Expect the next PowerMacs to retain the G4 processor and Quicksilver enclosure. Look for the PowerMac G5 this fall/winter with an all new enclosure. Say goodbye to the tower enclosure."
There is zero, zip, nada in the realm of *credible* evidence that the G5 is on it's way any time soon. What there is is a bunch of MacHeads wishing and hoping against all odds that a G5 will be here in a month or so. Could someone please outline the *real* evidence that a G5 will be released really soon now....oh yeah, there isnt' any.
On the other hand, relatively speaking, there are tomes of evidence that the Apollo G4 will next. I sure hope it is 1.4Ghz, but I'm seriously sceptical of even that.

if logic abounds here why do you predict and swear by no G5 till 2003?
logic would lead one to believe the G5 will be available definitely sometime this year if not very soon.

You're gonna win, no doubt about it.
