    Apple Rumors - WWDC Thread - Panther/G5

    I'm not fond of the case. The mesh makes it look like it morphed from the lint filter in my clothes dryer. Ultimately though I could care less what it looks like if it performs well under the hood.

    Apple Rumors - WWDC Thread - Panther/G5

    Patrick, I'm not saying Entourage is without faults. However, when it comes to getting attachments to clients, it's been pretty bulletproof for us--at least in terms of attachment encoding. Working for a large law firm--a business almost exclusively in the Windows domain--we can't afford to sit...

    Apple Rumors - WWDC Thread - Panther/G5

    I don't think anyone mentioned that Safari 1.0 was being released today along with a Safari Software Developer's Kit. The new machines are nice, although, if they require nine fans it will be a hell of an engineering feat to get a 970 inside of a PowerBook. I'll wait to see the Panther...

    Apple Rumors - WWDC Thread - Panther/G5

    Showtime is 10:00 am PDT or 12 noon CDT. You can watch it live if you have access to the satellite feed. If not, you'll have to find a place (most likely an Apple Store) that's carrying it. Myself and a few co-workers will be sneaking out of the office to head out to the Schaumburg Apple Store.

    Apple Rumors - WWDC Thread - Panther/G5

    I've been told the new hardware will be ready to ship within 48 hours. The revised 15" PowerBooks are apparently ready to ship, but they are going to hold off releasing them for up to 30 days because they don't want to steal any of the thunder from the G5.

    Apple Rumors - WWDC Thread - Panther/G5

    Yeah, I've been able to spend some time working on the 17" PowerBook at the office and I'm not terribly fond of it. Sure the extra screen real estate is nice and if I lived like a vampire, I suppose the ambient lit keyboard would be cool. But it isn't something I'd be comfortable carrying around...

    Apple Rumors - WWDC Thread - Panther/G5

    I can vouch for the fact that the 15" PowerBooks are drying up. We need about 75 of them and the two resellers that we deal with have both said there are less than 700 machines in the inventory channel right now. Oh yeah...the downtown Apple Store opens here June 27. Woo-hoo!! :laugh:

    Apple Rumors - WWDC Thread - Panther/G5

    Unfortunately I won't be at WWDC this year. :frowning: But one of my co-workers IS attending which means I'll be using the evaluation copy of Panther in less than two weeks. :D New hardware would be a nice surprise. The 15-inch PowerBooks are long in the tooth and in dire need of an upgrade...
