What's happening!?

I know I'm not the only one who feels this way, but...

What the hell?

My last post may have been unclear. The picture of smeagol on the top of AI pages now links to:

Additionally, the new description of "Mac OS X" ie future software is "The g5 is my precioussssss".

The 970 mac will be a RING not a cube!

Talk about "unclear", how about the title of this thread.

Cool, thanks. Why would it be under OS X and not FH? What did it use to say?

bih · June 10, 2003 11:52PM

I think it used to say something like "It's not pronounced Phanther".

No no.. Since the latest movie about smeagol is The Two Towers, it actually fits perfect with the idea of the new PM's to be 'wider' and 'narrower'!!

You get two towers, one for the PM and one for the powersupply!!!

And we actually got a concept drawing by one of the insider working on it!!

Insider drawing!!

The OS update that adds 970 support is apparently codenamed 'Smeagol' after the Lord of the Rings character also known as Gollum.

Do you realize how incredibly pissed off people are going to be if the power supply is as large as the tower itself?

It would rival the Cube 'brick' power supply fiasco. Wait, not rival, surpass.
