And the first published MacRumors rumor on the new VB forum was:


MysteryMacMan claims "Mac's Expo in New York will be having a for sure 1 Ghz PowerMac G4, and most likely a Dual Processor 733 Mhz G4. iMac's should be reaching speeds of 750Mhz, along with the iBook, will be reaching speeds of 550Mhz. Mac's rumored "G5" chip is supposedly in the making, and should be around the corner next MacWorld, NewYork. "

However, this seems to be a large part of "wishful thinking" than anything concrete... though MacOS Rumors does coincide somewhat...

[Apple] will introduce new motherboard features like
Double Data Rate SDRAM will also sport PowerPC
7450 processors starting at 733MHz. Other models
would include processors at 800, 866, 933, and
1,000MHz (1GHz).

Looks like the way some script kiddies type.

I never knew that there was "guest" access back then. Anyone could post withoulf registering ?

[ZiggyPastorius]

Ahahahaha, a member named "Anton Szandor LaVey." That's humourous.

I too still have newbie status, but I visit MR nearly everyday. Since ~2004.
Normally,before I am able to post, somebody else has already expressed an opinion similar to mine, or given the assistance requested.
Meanwhile, coming here has greatly expanded my Mac knowledge.
Bottom-line, some of us just like to read.

So many memories. I was first on this site (under a different name, Mac_User) back in early 2002. When we had EyeLikeArt, JefHatField, and a few other older members which nobody on here even knows

It's like a drug though. I go through withdrawals if I'm away from MR for any length of time! :o

But mac_user joined in Aug 2005 :confused:
So can usernames be reused?

And you're banned now, thanks for contributing!


hehehe. How to get yourself banned:
Announce you've got 2 accounts or that you've had an account and previously been banned... :D

[dmmcintyre3]

And what is with the retired user title?

[Abstract]

I'm glad that spammer is gone. :p



Those threads are just asking for a resurrection. I tried, but it won't allow anymore posts since it's archived.
