I'm making a turn around on my opinions. I've been saying "No G5, No G4 iMac." I'm just not so sure any more. Apple is telling me I'm going to be "blown away?!" That is big talk, and any old advertising Joe knows that you can't talk big if you c…

While that AMD idea is not something I'd support, your thinking is in line with what I'm saying here: we might be completely suprised on January 7. As TigerWoods said, this has never happened before, but Apple has (obviously) released some amazing …

I don't need a new product to consider the show "big." Significant upgrades to existing product lines is just fine. That means new iMacs, new PowerMacs, and so on. Man, I would just go nuts if they suprised me with a higher resolution screen on t…

... it's completely feasible. They've done it before, it's just that those world-altering moments are so few and far between, we never expect them. But it could happen. We could be in for a surpise even the best pscates could never have come up w…

I agree- hyping an entire show means macroscopic changes that reach beyond a new iMac. This brings me back to my old threat called "What's the harm of a huge show?" It asked if it would really be a problem if Apple updated their entire product l…

Majuki, Perfect example of the dangers of hype. Apple didn't even say "revolutionary," yet the whole computing world got excited. Now they are actually promising something huge. Just imagine where this hype is going to go. - Pook

Good point about standards. There are two fundamental standards: the "knows" and the "Joe's. By virtue of our discussing this topic on an Apple board, are the "knows." Big to us means G5, DDR, G4 iMac, and any other confirmation of rumors p…

Joe Average according to Anders: "I understand computers, and cables, and plugs, and stuff." That's where you're wrong, my friend. - Pook

Aaaah, pscates. You've fallen into the AppleInsider Trap. You have failed to realize what you want out of your Apple is not what your average consumer wants out of his Apple. You see the cube and see simplicity. Joe Average sees things to pl…

This thread is great! But as they say, "many a true word spoken in jest." Don't be suprised if you really are this disappointed. - Pook

Applenut has not business being correct. He's in the business of being wrong! Get you out of here, the new applenut! Ye hath no place in these forums!

There's nothing weird at all about that. All Meg's character was doing was testing whether Leopold actually knew about Macs to find out if he was in town for MacWorld. Plain and simple. It could have been any other product. Like if he was supp…

Hey Eugene!

Eugene, While I typically have the upmost respect for your posts, I must take issue with your car-related comments. The Dodge Viper is in so sense a dime-a-dozen car. I see one maybe once every two weeks. Coming from Los Angeles, that is not…

Car makers do this all the time, it's a good business practice. By making a dream machine, it creates a "halo effect" over the other products. The worth of such a halo is intangible. Examples: BMW Z8, Dodge Viper, Mazda RX-7, Acura NSX, Volkswage…
