  • I think what Apples has said needs to taken with a grain of salt. I'm sure they're responding to the mass of rumors that have been plaguing the sites lately. I would take it that there will be no up date for the PB in any way until at least MWNY. …

  • Also does any one think Apple might just skip the DDR memory bus and go for RapidIO?
    in Are you waiting for the G5? Comment by smacsteve February 2002
  • I sold my G4 450 a month ago thinking that Apple might announce a G5 or at least a speed bump and I didn't want my G4 to lose any more value. I'm staying with my Pismo until the G5 comes out and then I'll think about getting a new Power Book then t…

  • [quote]Originally posted by gordy: No, no digital camcorder. There is nothing Apple can add to enhance that product, e.g, no niche. Now, a cool FireWire webcam MacOSX ready would be nice. Hey, maybe it could plug into iPod and be the first HD b…

  • The G5 is a less power hungrey chip than the G4 and it runs cooler. Altough I think we wont see a G5 in the PB for awhile after it's released in the PM line first.

  • I'm failing to see how this article is related to giga wire or how you are connecting them
    in This is the kind of thing I thought Gigawire was about? Comment by smacsteve January 2002
  • Let's keep in mind Gates has always liked to show what M$ want's to do in the future and Jobs has always shown what Apple is doing (present tense) Apple as many have speculated is probably been testing many such devices. Having said this Apple has…

  • You people don't get it! It's the "chick" factor. They'll love it and it's got style. The guys will love the power of it. Believe me, this bitch will sell!!!

    in Son of Pismo?14.1" iBook? Comment by smacsteve January 2002
  • I think we'll see a special event around the first of the month as the rebate on the displays ends the end of the month. The price of the displays should be reduced also at that time. 22" to $1999 and the 17" to $799. We may see the 19" we've bee…

  • [quote]Originally posted by jwdawso: When I see MOSR's mockup, along with really no info on the other products, it just makes me believe Apple's hype over the past week. The MOSR mockup is UGLY. No way is that the next iMac. This mockup confirms MO…
    in MOSR's new iMac Mockup and Report Comment by smacsteve January 2002
  • I'm not convinced of the MSNBC report. The stock is way down on nearly everything at Apple. I think we'll see revisions across the entire line in some way or another. Maybe even TiBooks! And I don't think a G5 is out of the question.

  • I too have read this article about the supposed 1ghz mile stone. Agreed, this would be a threshold for the Mac, but it would be a disappointment after hearing so much about the G5 promise. I hope the release is sooner than the fall as reported. N…
