I love your quote - but I have 10 problems with it. 01 I can't figure out who those 10 people are and 10 who are the other 1000 people that make up the original set of 1010 people?
I'm so confused only a new G101 can help me solve this problem!
You should see my Spanish!

Re: January 20th
Yeah its January 20th but it was early morning and they will not put anything out until business hours, give the company a break. We will find out soon enough if this rumor is a wash or not.

Re: January 20th
Well I think Apple/Jobs would be nutz to miss this anniversary without some product announcement. Jobs loves playing the showman, and to not use this week to celibrate and release something as revolutionary (ok maybe not that revolutionary) as they did 20 years back would be a real shame.

G5 Price Drop
This may be old news, but, I was checking some Apple retail sites tonight - MacMall / MacConnection / Small Dog and PowerMax -- and the G5 1.8 singles are now selling for between $1750 and $1799 with various freebies included by the different retailers. If this is not old news, perhaps it is indicitive of something tomorrow? Or maybe Apple is just wanting to dump the last of the single 1.8's faster? Pretty good buy though. I think these were in the $2500 range just 6-8 weeks ago.

Re: G5 Price Drop
Yeah someone elsewhere in the forums was arguing this. I hope its true but it could just be the sellers getting similarly excited about the prospect of new computers and trying to move old stock...

What I would like to see...
...is new PowerMac G5s and new Apple Displays released simultaneously. I'm in the market for both - I want to see an Apple Display that matches the look of the G5s (to go along with my G5).

MacMall is now showing the 1.8 single processor machine on its home page and announcing a major price drop. I'm not one to say that this is proof positive that speed bumps will announced today or this weekend or next Tuesday . . . but it makes sense -- especially if 2.0 becomes the low end. But . . . its all speculation until Apple sends out the press release.
The online Apple store has not been updated and it usual procedure to have it done just before 9 AM EST - didn't happen.
We'll have to wait and see if anything happens for the 24th now, or the 27th (Tuesday after the 20th anniversary)

It'll happen, just be patient. I wasn't really expecting them to announcce anything until after the 24th. Actually, I was hoping they'd do it during the Superbowl. Millions of viewers mesmerized by the sheer brilliance of an Apple commercial announcing the arrival of the new G7 iMac with virtual display.
Or something.
I agree with you there, jrv3034. I'm looking at the 27th as the most likely day for anniversary-related product announcements (possibly including G5 and display updates).
whenever they do all of these shananigons is irrelevant, my money says new models in march on the shelf. i would be very amazed if they didnt do something with the consumer line, talk about old outdated technology and hardware. History seems to point to this march shelf date. powermacs and imacs that you can touch in march. the 24th may be only pushing music & pods more music and more pods.(yawn) what happened to those consumer computers?
Now thats what Im talking about!! Been saying that all along
Nothing in January - more then likely Febuary or March (items you can touch at the Apple Store) - just like I was told by an Apple Employee (and not a Dude from the Apple Store)
Regardless of when they ship - the announcement has to come first. And its sometimes important to get the order in.
I don't think all that many people were overly concerned about when they'd actually get the new machines, just the fact that they'd be officially announced.
I'm hoping to order one of the new ones, the sooner I can order the better.

Mr anderson your eyeing that top G5 dual powermac arent you? 2.0 G5 and ati9600 Imac if they come out with one. if not ill get the new base Powermac though it will be bigger and have more then i need.
top end dual PM - hopefully with the Radion 9800 Pro 256 Meg video card
that card just came out recently and it makes sense that Apple would make it available. For handling the 3D it would make a huge difference

yeah, I was the one talking about this for the last 2 days, and I got my head bit off!!
People seem so obsessed with the fact that these NEW, unused computers are a "discontinued" model and therefore should be worth less than a 1.6, even though the reconditioned 1.6 on Apple's website sells for $1399, and the reconditioned 1.8 sells for $1699. (They neglect that when the 1.8 sold at the same time as the 1.6, they were priced at $2399.)
While Mr. Anderson is right that the new G5's might not be announced today, the fact that Apple sat on this inventory of old 1.8's for 10 weeks (wasn't the 1.8 upgraded to a dual model in early Nov.?) before dumping them beginning today DOES say something. Apple knows that the 1.6 will soon stop being selling for $1799. If not, they'd price this higher, just like they do the reconditioned units.
Anyway, good news for us - upgrades should be here soon.
Wait til it happens?
Now where's the fun in that I ask?
This IS after all a RUMOR site. While discussing it after the event is all well and good it kinda limits the imagination.
I for one would like to see an all aluminum imac (same form) with a ruby (20 years) Apple logo. Suped up with a G5 (1.6 minimum) 128 graphics card, 20" screen, 512 ram and and and a cherry on top.
