Maybe the TIME
Maybe Apple is waiting for the exact TIME that they announced the Macintosh to do anything

That's the right wish!
Many, many, many more years to come!
PS. never knew there were so much Dutch speaking around....
Re: I doubt there will be new updates...
One - The person I refer to when I write - DOES NOT WORK AT THE APPLE STORE
Two - I agree that G5 undates are more likely end of Feb but probably in March.
Cant tell you how disappoined I am with the "20th Anniversary" - It should be a "whole year drawn out thing" but a Slam Dunk Powerful display to the PC World that Apple is on top.

A liberal paraphrase of Rene Descarte's "Cognito, ergo sum", i.e. " I think, therefore I am."
1) Today is the 20th birthday for the Apple Macintosh
2) January 24th is also my birthday
3) Therefore, I am destined to be a Macintosh user
Go Descartes! Go Mac!

you know when I look at the famous 84 superbowl add it is so totally fantastic I am lost for words...talk about absolute masters of masters at anticipation and presentation and dramma and delivery, when that runner schrieks and throws and hikes up to the delivery of that hammer I just about explode with her when it hits the screen, steve and his cohorts are second to none....talk about a drum roll.....lllaaaaadies and gentelmeeeen.....
my mother would have your tounge hanging out by the time that christmas or thanksgiving dinner hit the table....usually three or four in the afternoon...
then she would deliver..... a fantastic meal..the gravy and stuffing and mashed potatoes,...out of this world...real butter and hot buns and juicy juicy brown turkey, dripping with flavor... ice cold milk...as much milk and real butter and everything as you could possibly want, except the stuffing, the stuffing usually ran out and the gravy too but you already had lots and lots so you could live with that...
pickles and cranberrys,.... seconds and thirds and fourths on everything and everything and then pie..punkin and apple and bananna-cream with real whipped cream big scoops of home made or from the can whipped cream....
steve will deliver....steve will always deliver...

There is sense in that (as was implied by my earlier post.) If they made a big deal about the anniversary now, then an anniversary release in a couple of days would lose its thunder.
I love being as old as the Macintosh, I always know how old it is, or how old I am.
Now here's hoping they give us something so I can get it for my 20th. Not very likely, but Steve is a clever one.

quick question
I'm just curious how many times we have heard that Apple was going out of business in the past 20 years?
Happy 20th Birthday Apple.

Still at 17%, but when I voted, the ad on the bottom of the results page was for Netflix, with Finding Nemo as the first DVD pictured.

Re: quick question
Quote from CNN; "With such an innovative and intuitive product, then why is Apple's market share just 3 percent to 5 percent, with Microsoft Windows claiming more than 90 percent worldwide? The problem has always been that Apple was first but other companies have been able to come in and undercut them on price, and gradually appropriate all the features that made Apple special but internal dramas at Apple also contributed to its notorious ups and downs. Steve Jobs left the company in a power struggle in the late 80s. The firm floundered in a PC-dominated world. It was just a little bit disappointing that Apple kind of got itself into the situation where they didn't so much own what they had really brought to market."
This is how the "Industry" sees Apple today.
We all may not agree BUT perception is REALITY - and Consumers speak the loudest. Market Share DOES mean something.

If so big why no mention of 20 yrs Mac on apple.com?
I am kind of shocked that they haven't even posted a still screen from the 1984 commercial on the splash section of the home page. The fact that they are not even going that far, makes me belive that we are not going to see a 20th anniversary "whatever" until later in the year. Just going by what Steve said in the keynote.. "great things throughout the 20th anniversary year.." I doubt we see anything Monday.. and I would think it would be Tuesday vice Monday as normally announcements are on Tuesdays right?
