  • Didn't Nick dePlume recently post to these boards saying he had some 970 info that he was going to post? He was going to check his sources or something like that. Did he give a time frame of when that would happen? Maybe June 23 I don't mean …

  • Maybe Apple is just making up for the weak dollar and is offering a sale price rather than a permanent reduction in the price. Someone was complaining that the Macs were alot more expensive in Canada because of the exchange rate.

  • No, never. They have reached their physical maximum. Any faster and the bits would start flying off the edge. It is hard enough keeping them on now. Why do you think they are all horizontial instead of vertical? Gravity would pull off the bits …
