    Right. Except if we don't know when the countdown ends and for what you can just yell "zero, here it is!" as soon as something gets released.



    Not that there's anything wrong with that, it just lacks a certain savior faire.

    The countdown has been on since the last update to the hardware/software you are looking at...but more specifically since January 1 for this year.

    Intel just announced 50 watt quad core Xeons. Those could go inside the iMac. A quad core iMac would be impressive but an eight core one would be unbelievable.

    Right. The iMac cannot get the quads that are available today. Not without major re-engineering at least.

    Hmmm.....perhaps I've inadvertently coined a new catch phrase. "Savior Faire", the untouchable cool of the messiah.
