• Forget the swappable bay, the Ti is too thin to allow this. 1GHz may be the speed for PowerMacs, don't expect to find a 1GHz G4 in a Ti before MWSF '03 Does a PC laptop use DDR ? (real question) USB2 ? Apple doesn't move that fast... Edit: …

• I think G5 won't be out before MWNY, but I hope we'll see new G4 (Apollo) in a brand new enclosure (with 2 x 5"1/4 bays, please...I want a DVD player and a separate CDRW). Here are my predictions: Fast: §1599 G4 800MHz 128MB DDR PC2100 40GB…
