Twas the night before new stuff...
Twas the night before new stuff, and all through the 'net
not a Machead was stirring: their appetites whet.
Their fingers were crossed - "A QUICKER NEW BUS!"
"AND FASTER AND SNAPPIER G4s FOR US!"
The faithful were restless and tossing in bed,
while visions of DDR danced in their heads.
Steve in his turtleneck and Phil in his tie,
had zippy new Macs for their slick GUI.
When all of a sudden their 'rose such a clatter,
"If it ain't 10 GHz, then what does it matter????"
Away to MacRumors they flew like a flash,
updated their pages and refreshed their cache.
"There need to be G4s so fast that they glow!"
2 GHz, well then, the answer is "No."
Does that mean that these G4s will not be fast?
Put your worries to rest, cause a Mac's built to last.
With a G4 in reach for at home or at school,
the Pro line needs speed so they'll all be a dual.
Have you ever heard of a Jaguar that's tame?
Intel is clocked higher. But XP, that's lame!
Now DUAL! Now DDR! OS X fixin'!
On iSync! On iCal! On iTunes for mixin'!
In the sound studio, on the Hollywood stage,
enough to make Bill Gates cry out in a rage!
As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
Apple can do anything (prefaced with "i")
So to the Apple Store deal hunters flew,
to get a Quicksilver that used to be new.
And then in a second they heard on the Net:
"Love my new G4, best PowerMac yet!"
"My dual is awesome, it cannot be beat!"
"The most powerful DV box found on the street!"
The OS was elegant, stable, and hot,
As long as a "2" was what followed the "dot".
One Hundred and Fifty new features abound,
and every letter and number was round.
The icons, they sparkled. Intuitive? VERY!
And never again would networking be hairy.
Jaguar was finished and ready to go,
and multiprocessing Macs stole the show.
The users that demand a 2gig processor,
will think of the G4 as Pentium's lessor.
As for what 1.2 G4s will cream:
Anything current that Intel can dream.
The masses have been trained to look at the clock,
so they think that Wintel's the best on the block.
But those in the know can see through this deception;
they've been following Apple and Mac since inception.
No big announcement will splash in the news,
yet Mac faithful will rise up out of their pews.
For speed bumps are only one plus among many,
With 10.2 these new Macs will be uncanny,
The stage is all set as the rumors die down,
and the brand new G4 glides soft into town.
The faithful might yell, might put up a fuss,
and still love their dual with DDR bus.
Sleep well all,
RL
