What's with all the people calling the new MacBook a GlassBook?

well it has 2 consecutive numbers, so you know its gotta be true.
I'll bet you I'm not alone... I should have made this a poll. DOH!
So does the MacBook Pro. From what I can tell, people are trying to use it as a way to better distinguish the MB from the MBP... There is no need.
Actually, we're disguinguishing it from the previous generation of the MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
OK, That I guess I can understand.
How were the last generation Macbooks distinguished from the ones before that?
Shoot, my fingers aren't doing too well on the keyboard this morning. I meant to say "bet".
brb... Need to find coffee!
By speed or processortype. But whenever a new sort of "scheme" surfaces, as we went from the black powerbooks to the titanium ditto, and then to the aluminium and now with another bigger revision (looks), people tend to use something that will distinguish it better. This time around it seems even more important, given the, let's say, lackluster specs in comparison to the previous generation.
Edit: I guess one could call these the BrickBooks, or "Ingot Books", CNC-Books, and so on, but "Glassbook" rolls off the tongue easier, and you don't have to know specifics about the manufacturing process to know off-hand which "type" we talk about.
Edit #2: We also distinguished the black MacBook from the white by calling it "BlackBook". It's what we tossers prefer as it's easier to differentiate.
Last gen white macbooks were referred to as "Penryn Macbook", the one's before were SR Macbook or Santa Rosa Macbook. I think the ones before that were commonly referred to as just C2D (or "Core 2" or "Core 2 Duo"), or possibly as Merom Macbooks. Previous to that was most likely just Core Duo, or "The new Macbook".
What we did in the past was call your mother and she'd tell us the correct term to use.
