MacRumors · Aug 31, 2004, 01:19 AM

Beginning at Midnight PDT (3 a.m. EDT) MacRumors forums will be closed due to the current Apple Expo Paris keynote program featuring Phil Schiller. MacRumors is planning to offer live coverage of the event. Forums will reopen for posting directly following the Keynote speech.

Live coverage and discussion will take place on our Internet Relay Chat (IRC) Channel. Those unfamiliar with IRC may download our Mac OS X MRChat1.0.1 client (800k) which will automatically connect you to the proper channel.

More advanced IRC channel users may use server: irc.krono.net, channel: #macrumors

I believe that is what is going to happen. the IRC chat is just a way to converse during the keynote as the forums will be closed, at least that's how I took it.

My girlfriend told me I was a nerd when I told her I was staying up to find out what the iMac looks like..!

Does anyone here remember the MacRumors AOL chatroom we had some keynotes ago? That was a lot of fun.

Mac Pirates... Arrgh!

If she would put you in her place you'd have no interest in the new imac at that hour

JohnGillilan · Aug 31, 2004, 01:55 AM

The IRC chat says I am banned and disconnected?!?!? Any ideas why??

joed · Aug 31, 2004, 01:59 AM

Finally us Australians don't have to get up at like 4am in the morning for once to see new stuff.

It's worth it as long as the iMac is not a dud. 1 more hour.....1 more hour...(or it might be 2 hours....but I hope its 1)

Edit: looks like its 2.....I gotta stay up until 4 AM for this, and then to like 5:30 for the whole thing? Sheesh...I am too addicted)

Wes · Aug 31, 2004, 02:05 AM

I don't think it's only 1 more hour as it's 7:03 in London right now. Paris is 1 hour faster I think. Then there's DST and stuff to take into account and it's way too early for that.

joed · Aug 31, 2004, 02:07 AM

It's 4pm here now. And it's meant to be at 6pm local time here. Just at knock off time too. Yay

13lade · Aug 31, 2004, 02:16 AM

1:15AM CST and 300+ people in the chat.

I'm going to have a freakin' seizure!

I wish it was 4pm here.... It's 11:30pm, and I'm debating whether to stay up or not. Sadly, I've got Calculus first thing in the morning.

Gherkin · Aug 31, 2004, 02:43 AM

Around what time ET will we start getting news and info from the keynote?

I wanna know how late I have to stay up if I'm gonna do this.

paxtonandrew · Aug 31, 2004, 02:46 AM

I have downloaded the Mr Mirc portal. I keep getting d-lined. Can anybody help?

GeeYouEye · Aug 31, 2004, 02:58 AM

According to The Mac Observer, the keynote doesn't start til 4:00 AM eastern... is that right?

I think it will be around 4:30 or so before we get any important info on anything worthwhile. The beginning will be recaps and small updates I think. A Tiger rehash basically. It'll be a while before we get the juicy stuff.

This should be it....forums going down soon. Next on list to go down: the Apple Store.

basehart · Aug 31, 2004, 03:25 AM

Wake up nice and early, brew yourself a nice cup of whatever and check out all the cool new stuff.
