OK, we here on the east side have exactly 1 hour and 5 minutes untill midnight (according to apple's network time server), how many different thoughts/rumors about the new Powermacs can be crammed into 1 hour? I'm leaving it up to you all. Hey eye, do you think apple's going to release the iWalk tomorrow morning?:D
 
Apple's gonna ditch the computing world forever and come out with the iToaster. It's going to be part of their new strategy "The Digital Kitchen Of The Future":p :D :p :D
 
ON the low-end we have everything from dual 867s to dual 1.2s on the high everything from dual 1.25s to dual 1.6s. We have pc2100 (266) and pc2700 (333). We have 1 dual procesor (its late and im spelling processor wrong) 2 dual processors, and duals across the board. We have 1.4s at the high end and 1.5s. We have in excess of 1.2 (maybe 1.3?) We have bluetooth. We have hypertransport. We have usb 2.0 and firewire 2. We have new mice and keyboards with bluetooth? with 2 button mice? with scroll wheels? We have ati 9000s and 9700s. We have tis standard. We have 17, 19, 22 and 23 inch monitors with price drops.Widescreens across the board now. We have new imacs up to 1ghz. We have superdrive emacs. We have new tis with ddr and clock speeds of up to 1ghz.

But most importantly we have tens of thousands of anxious mac-users waiting for the arrival of a new powermac
amen-i will now post for the next 55 minutes to keep me awake untill midnight.
 
Dual 1.6s are SO not gonna happen... I would say i would buy you all one if they announced them its so unlikely.. but i couldnt afford it incase i was wrong =P. The ABSOLUTE highest it should go to is dual 1.4, but dual 1.25 sounds more reasonable to me. I am expecting standard 512mb of DDR 266 on the higher models, i dont think we will see DDR333 but it is ofcourse a possibility. I think the Radeon 9000 will likely be the default graphics card, and the 9700 will more than likely be an upgrade option. I doubt we will see new superdrives in this wave, but that too is possible. Gigawire is an almost impossibility however. It is also very unlikely that all 3 models will be dual processor.

hehe...i'm using a pentium II 200 MHz running winblows 95...nah, thats just my desktop computer.

Actually, right now i'm using an HP Pavillion AMD K6-II 550 MHz, 64 MB PC-100, 5GB HD, 13.1" non-TFT 800x600 screen, windows XP pro...stupid, slow pee-cee, but hey, its the best I have :(
 
I've got a home-built PIII 667 Mhz W\ATI AIW Radeon, Creative labs Soundblaster Live 5.1, Inspire 5300 5.1 speakers and a Sony HMD-A100 15" monitor.

BEFORE you flame me for having a PC, lemme tell you that I kinda, sorta, like it.

Knock, knock
Come in!, Oh, hi Dr. Jobs.
It's time for your medication Ed.
Oh, okay.

Fades out, screams down hall...
 
>wut kind of computers do you all have who are awake?

if anything was to happen at midnight, wouldn't it happen at "Apple's" midnight
(Cupertino time)?
 
for those who look around, spymac said that through the search function you could find some dirt, and it actually worked! it sayd powermacs are 1699, emacs are 999 and powerbooks are 2199, but imacs are the same.
 
damn :( Kinda thought that but laimcow started talkin about the whole 1 and a half hoours till midnight garbage. Guess im goin to sleep. Good night for eric. Lets hope im woken up with powermacs up to 1.5ghz with duals across the board and hypertrnasport along with 512 l2 cache and 4mb l3. ddr 333 and widescreen lcds all over the line. Or G5s, eric will dream good tongight. Note: eric normally doesnt refer to himself in the 3rd person.
