And companies don't have to keep us informed about every little thing either. Just because we (the general public) do not _officially_ know about 3Ghz G5s (chips or Apple boxes) does not necessarily mean they do not already exist. I would guess they (chips and boxes) have existed for a while, but are not yet ready for production. I actually expected them this past January. :) gretchen
