Steve called Puma "poo-mah" - in Britain will pronounce it "pewmer". I think "poo-mah" is a fairly common American pronounciation. "Jag-wire" is just weird - it's not as if Steve has a deep south accent. It must be some kind of joke.

Croney: Anywhere you say , BOSS!
JoBS: Think the Crowd will KILL us for dragging them out here for a DEMO on a chat prog that has been done years ago by ICQ.
Croney: Nah! tell them that its the BEST in the world , they will believe you.

do you not know how to use the shift/caps lock keys correctly or what?

you've spent more energy complaining about apple than it's worth for sure. why don't you do something more productive with that energy than complaining and whining and annoying people?

all of us also want new hardware and such. but you're one of a very few constantly complaining about it. if it's that big a deal, get a different computer. or at least get a new keyboard with functioning caps capabilities.

But... but... sabre-toothed tigers are extinct!

How about "kitty-kitty."

Jaygh Why Uhr

Hey people instead of coming up with our own variants on how to pronounce ‘Jaguar’ lets all get together and follow a common standard I mean look at Linux its in a bloody mess. Since the Brits invented English (plus since I’m one too) lets all stick with the way the good Queen of England pronounces it, ‘Jag-you-are’:D :D :D
 
Ever thought maybe...

What if Apple decided to change the name of the "Power Macintosh"? The iMac, eMac, and Xserve certainly are examples of new names, and seeing how Steve likes to do random things at random times, what if it was called the Xmac? Okay that was stupid, but it was just a thought. :p

SO, anyway, I heard that maybe Apple would kill the OS 9 support on the new mobos, and that would suck b/c OS 9 is still a staple of the Mac community. I know many people whose jobs depend on OS 9 for whatever reason (such as software, etc.), and it would suck if Apple axed the 9 support... I think, although it may not strand OS 9 like Apple wants to, it would still play to the strength of the new PM... I mean, why do more work to make a new machine less versatile? Unless this is something COMPLETELY new, which I doubt it is, since *hopefully* the new G4 will be out in August. Welpz, that's enough of my rambling... Have a nice day everyone!
 
New Name?

I like the idea of a new name for the PowerMacs. What if they just call it "The Mac"? Sounds good to me.
 
i think i'm going to have to do the same. what sucks is less that a better computer will be out soon, and more the fact that 3 weeks from now the price could drop by 50%.

any reason you're not waiting the 3 weeks?
 
maybe 10.3 will be named Garfield. That might make an impression, and they could steal microsofts paperclip man idea, but make it garfield and you could click on it for help..

but as for the g4 updates, I am guessing a late august update, and it will be a significant one. I would not be suprised by dual 1.4s but I also wouldnt be suprised by dual 1.2s :( - apple has been know to dissapoint...

my $.10 my $.02 is free, eminem sucks, but thats just me. That all ryhmed :D.
