Tuesday. Here's something interesting- I was signed up for a seminar on Tuesday morning, to be held at the Apple media center here in Santa Monica, CA.
This is the same place that they host the sattelite boradcasts of the keynotes.
Well, this morning I received notification that the seminar had been CANCELLED! It definitly wasn't due to lack of interest, as an earlier seminar was full, and this one filled up shortly after I registered.
Could this mean they need the space for a big press announcement...?
[quote] Dear Apple Event Participant,
We regret to inform you the seminar you registered for, Supercharged Sites with Macromedia Flash on 05/14/2002, from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM PST in Santa Monica, has been cancelled.
Apple has invited the press to the Cupetino campus for the unveiling of the Rack Mount server previously announced by SJ. Meeting starts tomorrow ( 5/14/02) at 9 AM PDT. No indication at website of a live Quicktime stream. Meeting to end about 12.00 so info should appear on the site soon after that.

Good thing my AP phy starts at 1EST (10 PST).... I will probably be too distracted to study... hehehe
Apple has a blank sheet here and must look to the future so I believe that these machines will incorporate all the very latest technology. They will need to be taken seriously and to do that they must incorporate a lot of robust feaurers including:-
1. DDR
2. Mutiple processors.
3. Hot swap scussi drives with Raid.
4. Dual power supplies.
5. Dual NIC's
I suspect that in the short term these machines could easily exceed the performance of the current Powermac range.
No, it is now 16:42 UK time (which is on summer time and therefore at GMT+1- the UK is on GMT in the winter). In Europe it is now 17:43 (GMT+2). PST is 8 hours behind the UK, therefore the event will commence at 17:00 UK time or 18:00 European time.
In any event, don't expect attendees to get out and put the info online until at least an hour after it has started, although if apple is quick off the mark they may update their own website around the start time of the event.

Seriously, GMT is 6 hours ahead of New York, how far behind is PST?
MST is Mountain Standard Time, which is EST - 0200, or GMT - 0800 until conclusion of DST, then it will be GMT - 0700
