MWSF so its looking like...
iMacs
750MHZ G3 CRT 100MHZ BUS
1GHZ G3 LCD 100MHZ
Powermacs
Probably
867MHZ Apollo DDR266
1GHZ Apollo DDR266
Dual 933 Apollo DDR 266
iBook
@ 700 MHZ G3 100mhz bus
TiBook
probably must go to
733 Apollo G4 133bus
800/867 Apollo 133bus
There must be lots of other Announcements to make up for all the HYPE
But if thats the MWSF mac specs, who would give a shit?

<strong>Not bad specs except for the iMac. I want an new iApp.</strong><hr></blockquote>
The iMac needs a G4.
The PB will only go that high if the iBook gets pushed.
Also, since MM didn't say 1GHz would be the top, the PMs could have dual 1GHz machines with 1.13GHz in the middle.

If reports are to be believed iMacs will still be seriously over priced. Powermacs will still be seriously under spec'd (come on, 1Ghz G4 max???). The iBook gets a minor bump (and continues to represent the only decent value in Apple's line-up) and the powerBook gets nothing -- no rumors have yet mentioned faster G4's for the Ti.
Yeah, that's beyond the rumor sites alright, beyond what they were talking about 2 years ago, maybe.
I hope Apple can back up the hype. On the plus side, after the keynote may be a good time to buy some Apple stock, after it tanks.

The iBook needs a G4. I'd replace my Pismo in a femtosecond if this happened.

Jesus I hope not,. MWNY all over again.
If this show doesn't live up to the hype, as we want it to -- and not with Stevie Boy's silly visions of iToys or even good iToys and whatnot -- I expect no less than Jobs be booed off stage and savaged in the press. AND THIS TIME he'll have deserved it!

I was refferring to the fact that AltiVec needs to be more widespread for more apps to develop for it. Ive said it so many times that I figured I didnt have to repeat it.

He deserved it at MWNY. This time if he doesn't deliver something commensurate with the current hype he'll be getting it in spades.

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that lately the iBook has gotten more sales than the iMac. Therefore, it'd be a good idea but if the iBook got a G4 then the iMac would too.
Those systems would rock.

I hope this MWSF '02 show highlight is the G5.
I don't give a rat's high knee about the other goodies.
