Wow, its so weird being back at AI. It's like good ol times again! Anyway, the AI iMac LCD article was fine, until they threw in the SuperDrive part. GHz G3 or not, MPEG 2 encoding will crawl, unless there is some hardware accelerator, or IBM has…

I don't understand why people here think the G5 case is going to take so long to bring to market. The Quicksilver case was a no-brainer. It still has the basic structure of the El Capitan from January 1999! Every case update since then has been a si…

I think black may be the new pro MARKETING color. If you notice, the new PowerMac and PowerBook boxes and info pamphlets are also black. It's a nice contrast though to the QS case and the PowerBook.

I think the current QS case slightly re-tooled for another drive bay, with stainless steel highlights (like the rear of the iPod) would be cool. Maybe a stainless steel Apple logo and handles? Drive bays? That'd be bling blingin'!

Well, if this is the real Dorsal, I always wondered if there were people above him that may have access to more new stuff (like the G5). This could explain why his original post made no mention of it. So his latest post could be accurate, or he coul…

Ok Bodhi, I understand now. I thought you meant the fastest PowerBook was 400 MHz. I still think though that we will see new PowerMacs as well. It's been 6 months since each line has had an update and all the portables were just updated.
-
Bodhi, the iBook never outperformed the PowerBook. The Pismo G3s came out at MWT 2000 in Feb. running at 400 and 500 MHz. The key lime iBooks didn't come out until Apple Expo Paris in the Fall, and they topped out at 466 MHz.

"Apple employees" Applenut, is a very general term. Fact is, only a fraction of them probably know about the G5 and new iMac. I've interned out there and I know what its like. Employees work on their own individual team projects, and they only know …

From that link, this caught my eye: "Intel will officially introduce its new Pentium III processor on February 28, *and until then it isn't disclosing details about the chip's performance and pricing, nor allowing PC makers to announce specificatio…

I honestly have faith in Applenut's "source", as well as Applenut himself. G4 iMacs and PowerMac G5s at MWSF. Steve's opening quote: "We want to start this year with an even bigger bang than we had last year, and we're going to do a leapfrog …

In the summer of '99, before the G4 was released, a prominent Apple employee was quoted saying he didn't think the G4 would see the light of day before mid-2000....
-
I still don't see why Steve couldn't announce the G5s and have them shipping in February, as he did with the Titanium and 733 Mhz G4.
-
It's really impossible to gauge the likelihood of the G5 being released by just trying to see if there are a lot of test units out or not. Fact is, if you're not a developer or someone critical to Apple, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO KNOW. :eek: Apple's …
