[quote]Originally posted by Kesh: A 13" screen makes no sense to me. As it stands, you would have to kill one of the other iBooks: 12" or 14". You *might* squeeze the 13" screen into the current 12" form-factor, but I doubt it. And why get rid of t…

[quote]Originally posted by The Grimace: So, on this monitor-spanning topic, has anyone else tried what robster did? How about on subsequent iBook revs (600, 700)? Is this just another type of 'hack' than what has been done previously, or has he …

Off topic I know but... One of my users yesterday booted her iBook that connects to a 17" Formac screen, I'd just fixed a load of probs and run the open firmware commands: reset-nvram and reset-all... Well she has a 500mhz iBook and on boot it c…

[quote]Originally posted by Outsider: You both are going to be so disappointed. Sorry. Hey Outsider, I'm not bothered about the G4 but do you KNOW we won't get a 13" screen? What about bluetooth? Can you lay it on the line...list the specs …

[quote]Originally posted by Outsider: I have pretty solid info that the iBooks will be no more than 700/800MHz speed bumps. No screen changes. I don't think BT will make it either. Thanks, man...not really what I wanted to hear but it gives …

cool! just sold my Ti667 in readiness as I am sick of hulking it around and being scared of denting/scratching it.... My money is ready for the iBook. But does anyone have any firm info on whether they will make it a 13" screen/widescreen? I hopin…

[quote]Originally posted by Bodhi: It is entirely pathetic that the iMac is still at the same specs almost an entire year later. Apple is going to go through the holiday season with the same iMacs? Man, sometimes I really really question who is r…

[quote]Originally posted by Algol: The MPC7457-RM could be called a G5. I think the IBM 970 will have a new non "G" name. Respectfully, I disagree, I think it'll be the G6 and the Moto G5 will power the consumer machines.

[quote]Originally posted by THT: [qb]MacOS X also has to be modified to be 64-bit compliant, but I expect that's already been done. That just leaves getting the hardward working reliably. The PPC 970 can be run in 32 bit mode, so only a minimum…

I too am excited as anyone, however I have 2 questions... 1. Will the introduction of these chips into PowerMacs (the obvious first choice) make the iMac, eMac, iBook and PowerBook look like absolute dogs and put people of purchasing them until a…
