Diata Share Posted June 21, 2003 a big dutch mac site says this is just a bad jokehttp://www.macfreak.nl/ i highly doubt someone running a somewhat famous business such as apple would say "haha let's pull a prank on everyone!". that would be stupid and unprofessional...but then again "accidentally" putitng up new products is pretty unprofessional as well...guess we'll just have to wait Link to post Share on other sites
Knight' Share Posted June 21, 2003 Are the buttons meant to be a dark grey on the powerbook page, on the powermac page they are a ligher grey. http://www.btinternet.com/~sim.fs/matt/greythings.jpg This is just me being hopeful that there is some sign that there will be IBM970 powerbooks..

~clean Share Posted June 21, 2003 Look what ive found ! Apple's shiny new PowerMacintosh G5 tower is perhaps the most exquisitely designed professional computer ever produced. With its gleaming aluminum colored surfaces, its shining details, and smartly detailed front panel, this is as much a work of art as it is a computer. And, works of art do not belong on the floor. Link Click Here ! and this The PowerPerchG5 is hand crafted in the United States from Acrylite brand clear acrylic sheet, and is specifically designed to highlight the gorgeous appearance of the new Apple Power Macintosh G5. The upward tilt of the PowerPerchG5 is intended to allow easier access to the G5's front located ports and drive bays, as well as to impart an elegant, raked posture to the new enclosure. link :: Click Here sounds good !

the evn show Share Posted June 21, 2003 Look what ive found ! The person who runs that (macmice) is the same person who runs mactable and is apparently acriminal, liar, and all around bad dude according to macintouch: http://www.macintouch.com/mactable.html It's a piece of clear plastic with a couple wheels - how is that specifically designed for a new system from apple? Couldn't I just toss a G4 MDD or even a Lian-Li PC-65 on top and have it work just as well? Why post a generic "brown bag" on it? Without a photo of the system I don't care what he has to say - his claims are just as speculative as the next rumor mills. IMHO The guy is trying to use G5 hype to sell 3rd rate products (again). No thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
