Countdown to Macworld San Francisco (MWSF) 2006

I'm very itchy! Come soon MWSF! I hope the convenience store clerk is right!

credit card ready and waiting for the apple store to come back online tuesday !

2.8GHz dual core Yonah in the mini? Yeah right

I have class tomorrow during the keynote. I've already decided that I'm ditching class to follow the live coverage, as it's in one of the few classrooms that still doesn't have WiFi.

I think it's pretty certain that there won't be a 2.8 GHz Yonah based mini, as Yonah doesn't go up that high. I wouldn't be surprised to see something closer to 1.6 GHz.

Things to do tomorrow morning:

Reset DSL Modem
Reset WiFi
Boot G5
On 20" #1 ACD - Macrumors.com
On 20" #2 ACD - Store.Apple.com
On Desk: Amex Card

New iBooks next Tuesday.

Plasma... too fragile, too heavy, LOW resolution... and what market is clamoring for this? Bad idea... Plasma is going to quickly go the way of the dodo. Why pay $2000+ for a monitor with a native resolution no better than SVGA and is extremely susceptible to burn-in?

Can't Wait!!!

Yes... my credit card is waiting & willing

End of an era

Somehow I just can't feel good about this years MacWorld in SF.

I feel like a Bronco fan after the 1999 Superbowl waving goodbye to John Elway and realizing that Brian Griese was going to be the future.

My intellect knows I have to say goodbye to the great old guy to make way for budding future stars but my heart is telling me this has got to be a mistake.

This is how I feel about the switch from PPC to x86. Is this really the best future for Apple, I guess we will find out because we won't be able to look back after tomorrow!

I second that. Plus Yonah is only at 1.5 - 2.1GHz right now, I thought. Well, one can dream. No wonder folks are so let down after these shows.

Hey Now!! Where's the minute-by-minute countdown at ?

He forgot the $250 price tag.

The only way the Mac Mini is going to be 2.8Ghz is if they market a Dual 1.4Ghz as 2x1.4 = 2.8Ghz.

It would be nice though, to have a Mac Mini with similar processor specs to a Dual G5!

Stand. and. deliver.

> 2.8GHz dual-core Yonah processor.

Bull.

This would outclass PowerMacs.

MWSF will be very interesting, I feel.

Don't get your hopes up, you'll be disappointed. Certinely do not fall for all the hype, either.

Bluetooth Mighty Mouse!!!!

This is gonna be really cool, im sure we will see some sweet ****, unfortunatly for me i wont be buying anything as i am short on cash and i dont need anything...

So basically im watching just for Kicks,

There HAS to be a time during this transition that the current Powerbook AND current Powermac get surpassed in power..

It's the law of transitions..subchapter 43 page 124 paragraph 14b.

Bring it on! oh my it feels like christmas up in here...yea!!


Bless

i can't wait either. if they do release a dual-core mac mini, i'm going to buy it.

I want to see new iPods.

Agreed, it would be very easy to outclass PowerBooks.

It wouldn't do Apple much good to outclass the PowerMacs so swiftly .
