PPC 970 Powerbooks and Powermacs in Production?
Thadddius_Brinks writes "MacWispers.com
is reporting here
that apple is currently in production of a redesigned single processor PowerPC
970 Powermac system and a 15.4 inch Powerbook. They (MacWhispers.com) are also standing by
their earlier claims about the speed of the new processor."
This article consolidates many of the major rumors surrounding WWDC including
the rumor of a new case for the Powermacs, but it raises the ultimate question: 17" Powerbook, or PPC 970 Powerbook?
Mac blah blah blah
Linux sucks!
first post!
yep, bones mcdaniel reporting for troll duty!
fp?
prob not, but hey, it's only Wednesday...

Weapons inspectors are quoted as saying "we are > close to finding WMD in Iraq.."
Believe em when I see em.

PLEASE don't believe such sites. The _only_ Mac rumor site that is trustworthy is ThinkSecret.com. The rest are just playing with people's feelings, nothing of what they speculate somes true usually. While ThinkSecret's rumors are frightenly true _everytime_.
The answer is "No."
at -1.
Your "Troll Toll" is $2.81. Thank you.
SUCK ME OFF, F@GG0RZ!!!
Just in case of Slashdotting ;)

With next week's announcments at the WWDC, blah blah blah, Mac users are all homosexuals and I enjoy posting articles and changing them to include whatever I want, blah blah blah, fag fag fag, blah blah blah.
I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Mac fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of a Mac (a 8600/300 w/64 Megs of RAM) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my Pentium Pro 200 running NT 4, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this Mac, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.
In addition, during this file transfer, Netscape will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even BBEdit Lite is straining to keep up as I type this.
I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Macs, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Mac that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Macs' faster chip architecture. My 486/66 with 8 megs of ram runs faster than this 300 mhz machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that the Macintosh is a superior machine.
Mac addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a Mac over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
Shut the fuck up, you fucking troll. This is a discussion about Macs, you ignorant son of a whore. Not copyright. How DARE YOU BRING your FUCKED UP, WRONGHEADED ideas about copyright INTO THIS DISCUSSION!?
FUCK YOU!
so you think the 1Ghz G4 notebooks aren't cock-meltingly hot?
they fucking well are, mate!
That was classic intercourse!
do I need to go before I hit the first loser MAC=GAY reply with nothing constructive to add?
You are a fucking retard. If the crapple niche of the PC market (yes, the Apple is a PC, sorry, a PC wiht a shit CPU) was more like the guy who replied to you and less like yourself, you guys might have a better selection of hardware instead of the fucking slow shit trash you have now.
All I have to say is:
No SPEC CPU Benchmarks published. None. No SPEC_int or SPEC_fp. Your fag pussy company sucks so much dick publishing those numbers would show fags like you what the rest of know to be true: Your fucking CPUs suck fucking dick.
And so does the mouse. I replaced an Apple mouse with the 2 button + scroll Logitech laser at work for a less Rabid apple user and they liked it very very much.
Get out of your fucking troglodytic hole, asshole.
