I wish they wouldn't do that! It gives me goosebumps.

I am setting myself up for a big disappointment on JAN 7. I keep saying "no G5 'till August... no G5 'till August..." and then Apples goes and does something like this. Sheesh.

Whoa indeed.

I almost believe they were hacked.

Or maybe its their way of saying "Yes we said that the iPod was something but this time we mean it"

syn · December 31, 2001 8:21AM

Wow, this is hardcore geek-arousement...

They will *have* to deliver... I think that no even the wildest rumors have a chance of coming true...

Steve's quite a slut when he wants to capture our imaginations...

eman · December 31, 2001 8:35AM

Wow. I'm worried that they're over hyping (is that a word?) Well I guess I have to wait a week and see if I was right.

imacfp · December 31, 2001 8:38AM

That's really cruel. I hope they live up to the hype or there will be a riot.

This is the most Apple has hyped an event. Moving the keynote forward a day, starting a countdown on their website, and saying that "This one is big. Even by our standards."

Remember the thread a week ago in GD, where people said that they would like a hint from Apple before something big was announced? Looks like they got their wish.

This is the most hype since the original iMac intro. Perhaps bigger. I can't believe they would hype it this much then not deliver.

I can't wait for this baby!

davegee · December 31, 2001 8:57AM

Well, since that banner has to be changed for tomorrow... Do you think they will be doing any hint dropping?

6 Days till MacWorld... "Insert some hint" :eek:

It would keep the hype going if they didn´t gave too much away.

"6 Days till MacWorld... Its not an iMac"

davegee · December 31, 2001 9:06AM

5 Days till MacWorld... AppleInsider Message Boards Crash...

willoughby · December 31, 2001 9:07AM

YAY!!! It's almost like "Pro Go Whoa" and the Cookie, Shopping Cart, Tool, web page from a few years ago. Woohoo!! :eek:

Heh that could actually be a great thing to write. "5 days to MacWorld ... AppleInsider Message Board will crash"

That would really be like the second coming: Name all the sign leading up to it.

"MS will go bankroupth"

"The cities will be redesigned"

Good idea.. have to call the Littleton store and see if they are too. I was just thinking of a couple of days off and a road trip to San Fran, but sanity sunk in. Now I'm really excited. Two more hours till they open.

Ahh yes... I remember that stuff...

Cookie, Cart and Tool was BTO Apple Store

and then six months later was the Pro Go Whoa was for the iMac and the G3 portable.

Anyone saved the .gifs of the OSX countdown? Those were clever little things...

joecool · December 31, 2001 9:39AM

All I can say now is that I will have to watch this at 2am down here in Oz. Although Steve owes us big time down here. I was at Apple headquarters watching the last keynote, and man, some of us were ropeable by the end of it!! Not only did we get stuff-all in the Keynote, but we stayed up till 2 to see it!!

As for this advertising....If Apple keep this sorta thing going, I think we'll be seeing psychiatrist/psychologist demand skyrocketing around the globe!! People will develop the neck and shoulder twitch and screaming whenever they hear someone mention "iMac" or "G5"

Maybe there's a conspiracy between Apple and the International Medical Associations!!

Hey......I'm trying to "Think Different"

Damnit, that's interesting. Would they do this just for the LCD iMac?

thegelding · December 31, 2001 9:49AM

how about this as a countdown:

7 days til MacWorld San Francisco

This one is big, even by our standards

6 days til MacWorld San Francisco

Here comes the "Revolution"

G5...oops, we mean, 5 days til MacWorld San Francisco

Do we really need to say anymore??

G4 iMacs....oops, darn we did it again.....

4 days til MacWorld San Francisco

3 days til....aww the heck with it....come to the apple store and order your new G5 towers and G4 iMac LCD today....why wait??...plus we are taking orders on the new cube, iHub and iTab/iPad......

:eek: weeeeeeeeeeeee...g
