    That's a while off. Were the images/specs for this future hardware publicly announced? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

    ATA? I though it was Fibre Channel.

    From <a href="http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2002/may/14xserve.html"; target="_blank">Apple press release</a>:



    [quote] Apple today also previewed its new high-performance RAID storage product featuring industry standard 2Gb Fiber Channel, which will be introduced later this year. <hr></blockquote>

    To disagree... um... NO. The only part of the photo which is not real is the "A Mac? In the Rack?" sign.



    I do agree that it's not real news though.

    PS Nessie is real too

    I am not at my photoshop now or I'd go to work on it, but I hold that it looks to bogus. 1) the shadow on his forarm from his head, when the frontal lights cause the sweat on his face to gleam. 2) The obvious placement of a Macworld logo over his shoulder. 3) Since when does jobs stand next to non apple branded stuff and do a photo shoot. 4) Is it just me or is his head too small and body too big? 5) I don't recall the totally black body suit at any of his recent debutes. That seems to be "old school" jobs ensemble. I can't be 100% certain until tonight when I get my photoshop fired up and start delayering it etc. but I am pretty darn sure it's a fake photo. (albiet a boring fake photos). What is the point of it? To show off an xserver looking side mounted raid array that nobody like us is buying anyway? Just a thought but if anyone has photoshop and can confirm my claim that it's fake prior to 11 o'clock tonight please do so.
