eh I guess it makes some sense to merge the notebook line, although personally I hope the PPC powerbooks stick around for a few months more so I can swipe one up.
I'm not quite sold on the whole "rosetta emulation" thing just yet, so it would be nice to get a laptop capable of running my current copy of photoshop & such.

I will not be caught dead with a pocketbook, unless a supermodel is having me hold it while she tries on lingerie.

I guess you didn't buy an original iBook then did you! :D

Nope, just a Revision E powerbook.

They can call it anything, but pocketbook! Its one thing to want female customers, its another to earmark a great product as 'girlie'.

I doubt Apple would release a book without something for the desk or livingroom. I still say the one more thing will be a new unit thats sits in your living room or on your countertop and has lots of Intel chips in it.:)

I don't think he means something called a "MacBook" will come out. I think he means either the PowerBook or the iBook will be updated, he just doesn't know which one. I don't think there will be a "MacBook" laptop.

Thanks you!! Finally. :rolleyes:

Apple makes insanely great products, so we can't expect them to be sane, right? ;)

Here's to the Insane Ones, like Steve Jobs
