I vote for granny's old sock!

Thats true they could be using my grannys old sock

I'm pretty darn sure they will actually use it. The PPC970 is hulluva slow compared to her sock, isn't it? So yes, I believe that rumour (?) to be true.

Granny's sock for president!

By the way, is a sock feminine? If so, it would be the first female president. How do you call that? A presidess? A predidentess?

:D

President isn't masculine or feminine so there would be no need for a change in the title.

I agree though that Granny's Sock sounds like the best choice all around. There's no chance of Palladium with it.
 
The answer = WWDC

I think the 970 will no longer be a rumor after the WWDC.

It will be announced as part of the Apple plan. That's if Steve wants to keep all the businesses who have been holding off switching to (god forbid) windows boxes - they need confirmation, soon. I get the feeling many businesses have been holding off for about a year.

So let's wait and see, shall we?
 
Problem is, Wintel users don't have to wait over a year for something better to come along. The update cycle is much faster. And now, it is not just a clock speed thing, but improving the entire architecture of the system (faster bus speeds, SATA, etc).

We need a big "softie" puppeted figurehead to run Apple at this critical point when we are waging all out war on Microsoft.

How about spongebob squarepants?


Just Kidding:)
