Well, I am my own employer and no, I won't. :-)

Mostly cause I try to be positive before I shoot my mouth off.

And on this call, I was positive from a logical standpoint - Apple had
revved those machines only a few weeks before.

See, the problem is, Apple revved the TiBooks *knowing* the Aibooks
(TinBooks?) were ready and going to be announced at Macworld Expo.

The AiBooks have been in development for over a year.

The evening before the Keynote an Apple employee who works in the PB
division told me I was going to be happy with the new Powerbooks announced
at the Keynote, I just about blew a fuse.
