New Mac System Specs
xyankee writes " Think Secret appears to be dishing more of the dirt that Apple loves to hate so much, this time dropping details on updated Power Mac G5, iMac G5, and eMac systems soon to be released. Looks like speed bumps all around: Power Macs get to 2.7GHz, iMacs to 2GHz, and eMacs to 1.42GHz. Video cards and SuperDrives are also upgraded."
You mean, like, to keep them all from going too fast?
just an 's' shy of immaculate...

In fact, I will likely be ordering a new G5 to replace my dual 2.0 G5 if they are in fact announced,
Wow, I'm curious to know what kind of needs you have that would justify this...
Sheer gear lust ?
Girls ofcourse ...
Looks like all the systems are beefing up the Video Cards to support the latest and the best from Tiger (i.e. at least 64Mb and programmable GPU required to support core image).
As much as I like my Mac mini, I am torn apart wishing they would either#:
a) upgrade their video cars to something like an ATI 9600 with 64 Mb of Ram
b) don't change anything so I won't feel the *URGE* to upgrade to a Higher Spec Mac Mini.
ARgg, Apple has embraced drug dealer like methods; I am now hooked and I won't be able to quench my thirst until something else hits my desk!
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity
But that is a totally different operating system! Oh, wait ...

so I can tell my wife we -need- to get a new iMac (clutter is bad)...
Reading code is like reading the dictionary - you have to read half of it before you can go back and understand it.
Boy this reminds me of DOS days:
XMS - eXtended Memory Specification
EMS - Expanded Memory Specification - uses page frames
Confused the heck out of most non-techies....
And then we had:
USB 2.0 Full-speed (12 Mbps)
USB 2.0 Hi-speed (480 Mbps)
And:
Victorinox - Original Swiss Army Knife
Wenger - Genuine Swiss Army Knife
The next "Newton" will probably be a souped up iPod with a large screen. ( do not tell anybody where you got that from)

Yes, please attach some chrome, neon strobes, and some super loud fans, I want my computer to feel just like my chainsaw! I am a real man! hear me (and my computer) roar!
A comma might have really helped in there.

In two weeks I hear Apple will be announcing an even newer model. It will be called the "Big Mac". In a deviation from past policy, Apple will allow customization to occur at order time with the additions of special S.A.U.C.E. (Simple And Usable Custom Enhancements) and even P.I.C.(k)L(e).S. (Peculiarly Integrated Custom Louvers and Shades). You might meet your deadline as these new machines will be available from Apple's new franchise stores and their drive-thru windows (uh, I mean the glass kind).
"And the project is due in a week and a half.
What to do, what to do.... Argh...
For starters you could quit pratting around reading \. and start the project.
Well, you can drink it once. . .
I am a believer of momentum and curves.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
Three totally non-binding committments to buy a product with imaginary specifications at an impossible price point from anonymous Internet users? Let me get marketing on the phone immediately!
Hey, it worked in the late '90s!
I like my women like my coffee... pale and bitter.
And:
Jessica Simpson
Ashley Simpson
both have been manufacturing Swiss Army Knives for over 100 years and both must meet identical specifications laid down by the army.
Just what kind of army specifies that they need a corkscrew?
