What would the 970 PowerMac's be called?

I say call it Powermac and then follow that will cool looking Kanji.

Everything with Kanji works faster.

I actually liked the numbers. Here's why:

"What mac do you have?"
"An iMac."
"Ohh, which one?"
"Er.. which one?"
"Yeah, which processor?"
"Er.. G3."
"Ah nice! Which G3 iMac?"
"Er.. a blue one?"
"Ahh! A blue one! Original bondi or the laster one?"
"Uhh... I can see through it."
"Hmm... I have an 9600/200."
"Ah nice!"

See what I mean?

I wish Nintendo had made:
Nintendo
Super Nintendo
Super Dooper Nintendo

Sadly, Flower Power failed, Wow Her Power is sexist, PowerTower was a whole 'nother company.

I don't want G5, I don't want PowerMac 970. I don't want extreme, ultimate, or any silly superlatives which will help force early obsolescence.

Power Mac Nine?

Why is that such a bad idea? A world-wide powermac design contest would make so much sense. After all, it is a computer dedicated to multi-media design.

If this has already taken place, and I look like an idiot, please forgive me

PowerMacintosh XP Professional Edition.

Nah...

Call it PowerMac G5. How many years have we been waiting for something to appear with that name?

 

[jethroted]

G-970?

well..

How 'bout...
POWER"IT'S ABOUT *UCKING TIME"MAC? or
POWER"NO IT'S NOT MOTOROLA" MAC or
POWER"THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE"MAC?
seriously, I think it will just be Powemac, with a name derived from the new enclosure appearance(whatever that might be)

-----POWER"IT'S ABOUT *UCKING TIME"MAC? or
-----POWER"NO IT'S NOT MOTOROLA" MAC or
-----POWER"THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE"MAC?

I like Power "It's About ****ing Time" Mac. But how about, Power Mac "Hell Is Not Frozen Over, Farm Animals Are Not Slamming Into 747, G4 Really Is No More" or Power Mac HINFOFAANSI7GRINM?

I have this sneaking suspsision that with the recent push into the enterprise, and the [I think] likelyhood that Apple will want to have a 'workstation' class machine for the uber high-end video/3D/other markets, the name may very well be:

'Xmac'

I think you're onto something here. Then the X-series (Xmac, Xserve) would be the Pro line, and the i-series (iMac, iBook) would be the consumer line. As the PowerBooks were upgraded to 970s, they would become XBooks. Good call!

I doubt they'll change the case right away, but when they do, it'll undoubtedly be to the aluminum look. Just saw the 12" PB yesterday, what a beautiful piece of hardware - not only looks great, but feels solid - next to it, the iBook looks like a plastic toy.

And BTW, since this thread is about "what should the hypothetical 970s be called", adding a comment on the order of "I don't care what they're called" doesn't contribute anything. C'mon, suggest a name!
