Hello -
I'll apologize in advance for asking about something I know we should
all be above asking. After all, it's silly to wonder about what we
can never know; it's a waste of time to ponder imponderables. But
I'm human, and I'll be needing a powerbook some time within the next
three or four months, and I'd love an educated guess or two about
when Apple might release a G5 powerbook.
Just so you know - I got a G4 Desktop just a month before Apple
announced the G5, and I never complained. Not once. But I know I'll
be mad if I the same thing happens again with my next powerbook
purchase. So ballpark this for me if you will - -
Has it been a long enough time since the last G4 powerbook release,
that suspicions might be start to be justified about an imminent G5
pb?
Is the new 90-nanometer G5 chip that IBM is now producing a natural
for a powerbook?
Historically, is it so long a process to get a chip from desktop to
powerbook that I shouldn't hold my breath?
Educated guesses only please (no chicken entrails).
