I recall upon the intro of the 12" and 17" PowerBooks in January 2003, Jobs talked about how this aluminum was stronger (or lighter)? Can't remember, but he framed his comments in such a way that it seemed as though he was praising aluminum over the previous Titanium.

Someone can check the keynote to confirm, but I swear I remember him praising the new aluminum quite a bit. Whether or not he was engaging in RDF-enhanced marketing hyperbole isn't the point...the point is he mentioned it, talked about it, compared it to Titanium in a more favorable way, etc.

I'd bet my eye on it. Someone have the video?
