Cupertino, California -- In a stunning turn of events Apple has decided to rebrand their laptop line once again. Over the last year with the transition to Intel, Apple has also migrated to new streamlined name for their entire line of laptops: MacBook.
Speaking at a small closed door press conference early Sunday morning, still wearing his back turtle neck robe, Steve Jobs announced that upcoming Apple laptops would now go by the classic name Pismo. Fans of Apple hardware will know this brand well as the codename for early Apple laptop models. When asked why the sudden name change Jobs broke into a cold sweat.
"I woke up this morning after a terrifying dream that people stopped buying MacBook and MacBook Pros because they hated the name. Sales dropped to zero and the company folded. After spending time reading various forums on the internet its become obvious that the hatred for MacBook is spreading. I see this as a real possibility and as such we are moving back to a tried and true name. Lets all welcome back the Pismo and the Pismo Pro."

Nice. Very witty. Did you write it, or find it?
Let's just hope that the only thing that goes retro is the name! (joke)
Yes, Tantalizing Indeed
Nice Spoof, MacRumors.
I think I'll keep my new username.

Great work, Guys! Wondered what MY name was going to be...
Humble Shagrat! Never realised that I was that modest!
"Cell Phones" are wireless telephones that don't have to be plugged into a telephone line.
YEAH, like THAT'L ever happen!
Next thing you'll be telling us will be that you will be soon getting entire movies on a 12cm disk!
These unsubstantiated rumours have got to stop, I tell you!
