Thanks to murbot for the inspirational phrasing...

Unfortunately, I think you are right. I think maybe end of the year for 3.0 Ghz G5 and mid year 2005 for the Powerbook (at 2.0 Ghz).

But I like to echo Eugene's earlier post (I think it was on these forums): given the fundamental problem of migrating from 130 to 90 nanometer process, this delay is understandable.

Neither Jobs nor IBM knew about the problems they would face with the transition. Apparenly 90 nanometer physics are quite a bit different from the 130 nanometer physics. But it will all shake itself out eventually. In the meantime I would stay away from the 2.5 dual monster...at least for a while. I just don't trust water cooling used in production machines... even when it's endorsed by a company such as apple.
