Stumpy, your new name. But seeing as how the Mac is "supposed" to be sooo much slower than Athlon or Intel, you could still be bigger than 90%+ of all computer users depending on what bench mark you use <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
everyone wants apple to do the impossible on an impossible time schedule.
Don't count on anything.
it'd unbelievable how people have managed to take a statement from apple themselves, not a rumor site, and turn it completely backwards into thinking that the G5 will debut at Mac World Tokyo <img src="graemlins/surprised.gif" border="0" alt="[Surprised]" /> :eek: <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />
<strong>what we want to happen: hi foks, heres the new g5 at 2ghz!
what might happen:heres are updated section of laptops, tibook now 800mhz and ibook at 700mhz

DDR? That would mean a motherboard revision and probably an entirely new G4 chip.
Folks, nothing new will be introduced. It's going to be a rehash of MWSF and probably won't even be webcast.
I'm flabbergasted that this thread has made three pages. [oh - maybe it's because dufusses like me keep posting lame remarks... <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[No]" /> ]
There is absolutely nothing to discuss here. Joswiak knows enough that he would not have said what he did if there was even a faint hope of any hardware besides digital devices or displays ready to be released by then. He may even be liable for "insider trading" lawsuits if they were to release something after having made that statement (plaintiffs could claim that his statement depressed the stock price so he or his friends could load up at low prices - then sell when it soared after a surprize announcement). So PLAN on a very boring MW Tokyo.
Now, after that things might get interesting. Until then, however, just move along, move along folks - the show's over - there's nothing to see here - move along -
Hmmm... Rothenburg (NMR) speaks once more of the mobo-enhanced 1.4 GHz G4. I still say it's unlikely anything new will crop up at Tokyo, but I won't complain if it does. Either way I can't afford a new system right now....

I guess you wouldn't want me to pull out my ol' Color Classic. :eek: Seriously, though, it's not how many mhz it is, it's how you use it. Seriously! Altivec, the iApps, etc.
Boy_Analog, I almost fell out of my chair! I needed that! Good thing tomorrow's Friday. Jeez, I've missed AI.
But come on macintosh, you're not serious, are you?? If they are ANY new "CPUs" (machines ) then I'll shit a brick!
The biggest possible announcement for new stuff would be displays, or an iPod rev. And my iPod still blows Windoids away Software will be the focus.
I hope OS X 10.2 will finally have a frikkin' energy saver. After all, aren't the new iBooks (like the Combo I just bought for 850 at Circuit City ) all the rage? And Labels, Spring Loaded Folders, Windowshades (Apple, BUY Windowshade X), and make it faster??? Finally, how about that famed impending two-button mouse we've been hearing about since forever, eh?
I have the original Apple II. My dick is bigger than everyones . In fact when I start using the thing it swells so much i have to sew two pairs of pants together and use them, otherwise they just rip apart.
It does hurt quite a bit though :eek: <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" /> <img src="graemlins/surprised.gif" border="0" alt="[Surprised]" /> <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />
Howard Stern must use a Dual 2 GHz P4, that's why he's always bragging about how small his dick is. Like he has to tell anyone though. Any person who makes a living off of pissing on others to make himself look clever MUST, by definition, have a tiny penis. That's why Robin Shivers hasn't done him yet...those soul mama's know you can't churn butter with a toothpick! (Got that from Robin Williams).
My take is that he meant chips (>90%), and that he meant no G5 (100%), and he meant before midsummer (100%). He probably meant no re-fabbed G4 (80%), and he may (50%) have meant no speed bumps, but he definitelydid not say "no new hardware at all".</strong><hr></blockquote>
nice shoot, mr obvious
anyway, it reminds me a bit of clintification regarding no new cpus

Sigh. Tell me about it.
Back in '99 I upgraded from a IIci to a 300MHz B&W G3. The little man shrank so fast it made a popping sound.
Haven't dared upgrade since: I'd make a hella ugly woman.
:eek:
