Yeah, but guess what? They all lived.
And this is a bit different...an entire processor/engine change. I know the 17" was physically different from the Titanium 15". But it was still a G4 processor, with many of the features/capabilities of the 15". But we're probably on the cusp of something quite major, going from these 1.67GHz G4s that are hobbled in various ways, to...??? Exciting stuff, the possibilities that lie ahead! If the thing is announced in January and it's genuinely mind-blowing and different from anything we've ever known, that might placate many. Simply knowing it's coming will make it worth the wait to many, I'm sure. Some will squawk...they always do. Ignore 'em. If I have a choice, personally I'd rather know what's what ASAP, then wait some, if necessary. As opposed to not knowing anything and just having it hit one day, 3-4 months into 2006. The first way, I can at least plan, make some money/purchase decisions, work on getting a buyer for my current one, have something to look forward to, etc. |

No-one's mentioned an important question yet—
Will Apple actually much promote the new Intel-insides of the MacIntels? Apple's all about simplicity and 'just working'. Steve doesn't confuse the unwashed with talk of 970MP and what have you. He's all about G4, G5—fast and faster. I know they've dissed rival chips and chip-makers in the past, but is it really in Apple's interests to praise the superiorities of a new architecture when the majority of their products still run on the old one...? Sure, there'll be mention of "Intel", but scant more methinks... bouncy bouncy |
