MOSR has and is a joke...
They even claim GPUL was just 'made up' by a bunch of rumormongers. Give me a break they are fishing for people to prove them wrong.
Also ... while this is just speculation... Why would Jordan Hubbard (Apple's manager of BSD technologies) say to a room full of hacker types the following:
"One of the benefits of working with Motorola is that the hardware won't get faster."
Talk about a right hook to the jaw... No punches being pulled with that comment.
Do you really think he would have said that if he didn't already know that the next PPCs were NOT gonna have a big letter M on the top.
Maybe I'm wrong but the way I see it.
If Jordan DIDN'T know what was going on in the CPU department he wouldn't have said what he did.
If Jordan DID know what was going on in the CPU department and the next big CPU *was* gonna come from MOT he wouldn't have said what he did.
If Jordan DID know what was going on in the CPU department and the next big CPU *was not* gonna come from MOT then yea what the heck... Take a jab it ain't gonna hurt none.

I don't think that really applies to Macs though.
With AMD, new chips are being released constantly. With Mac computers, a new revision of the Powerbook can happen anywhere from 6 months or longer. So people are more willing to wait for the new macs to be released, so that they can have the latest and greatest for those 6 months or longer.
I don't know why, but even though there's a lot of rumours about the next revision of the PBG4 being released within the next few weeks, i just don't think it's going to happen.
Don't get me wrong, i hope it does as i want one, but i've got a feeling that we won't be seeing a new mac for a while (Maybe January). None of these rumors seem to have any hard kind of facts to base their estimations of the release on.

It would have been nice to put OS X on my fairly new 1.3 AMD, or even the 1.6 P4 at work (if nothing else than to save the TORTURE that was my Win98/2000 install from HELL, freakin' M$. Now I can Crash twice as fast!). But we know that won't be happening anytime soon.
Can't wait to get a new Mac to replace my old one (that I no longer have BTW) after I move. Maybe a nice Cool (pun intended) iBook (c'mon 1 GHz G3 + 32 MB vid card), or an eMac to play with untill I can afford a new Tower. Who knows what we'll have by then?
GigaHertz, shmigahertz. If I can run FCP off of a 320 GB hard drive in almost real-time with out the crashing, I'll be happy.
Another couple of months.
We'll see what happens.

No, they just upgraded the storage capacities, I doubt that they would make another upgrade so soon. Additionally, I've been able to get through .Mac fine this morning, so I think it might just be you having the problems.

..whats the point since your are there allready? annoying.
Kind of reminds me of how the "manual" that came with os x.1 was an advertising pamphlet. I was like, I already bought the damn thing thanks, you don't have to try to sell it to me again.
Apple continues to disagree however.

Well I'll be darned....
When Arn e-mailed me a couple months ago (and I was insanely busy and had very little time to post), I had no idea what was going on to prompt him to e-mail me to come back to MR.
I posted a few times on the Nov 5th rumor thread, and sadly found myself frustrated with the folks there. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but compared to what I remember from over a year ago, the proportion of folks who were irritating (i.e., "trolls" to use our lingo) was way too high. I got frustrated and stopped posting...especially because I realized that all my posts were taking me way off topic replying to the trolls!
So then I just came here tonight, checking out what was new, etc...and I find this forum -- a hangout for those of us who were around long ago. Too cool!
Great idea, Arn. Now if we could just boost the membership in here back up. I'd enjoy that a lot. Truthfully, I find myself reading MacNN a lot, but the discussions are far less spirited there.
Let's rev this place up!

That sounds like a horrible waste of resources. Why don't you just use the native Mac OS X binary? The Intel SMP is in beta but is perfectly stable.

EDIT: And Parallels doesn't support SMP, so no you should not.

Do they have a 68k client? I remember that distributed.net had one, and it was funny comparing an SE/30 to a (then top-of-the-line) 4-way 550 MHz Pentium III Xeon system at work.
And to think, the Mac Pro 3.0 GHz has five and a half times the processing power of that old system, for less than the cost of a SINGLE processor from that old system. (A 550 MHz/2MB cache Pentium III Xeon was $3,692 (http://www.intel.com/pressroom/archive/releases/sp082399.htm) at intro, compared to an otherwise-stock Mac Pro 3.0 GHz at $3299.) The old server also only supported 4 GB of RAM, max. (In 16 PC-100 DIMM slots, each supporting a max 256 MB.) Compare that to the Xeon Xserve, which also has 16 DIMM slots, but supporting up to 4 GB in each slot, for a max of 32 GB of RAM.

Just a quick question... I downloaded the SMP Intel version for my MacBook Pro, but I can't figure out how to pause it! Last night I did a ctrl-c (quit) and it closed out... but this morning it started all over! What on earth is the "pause" command?
(yes I know I don't need to stop it for most things, but I like to at night and while I study because of the extra noise it creates.)

What I find interesting is that I have been reading the boards, following the discussions since mid 2001. I registered in Feb 2002. I have seen many people come and go. I remember when some people were convinced that agreenster was Steve Jobs himself!
Guess I'm just a quiet guy. (I only joined so that my comments on some off color comments that were being posted might be taken seriously.)
I visit at least once a day, just don't post much.
Does that make me old school?

Even a stretched Palm would be slammed in the press. There is no substitute for a keyboard.

If I recall correctly, it stands for "New Technology".
It started out as a joint project between Microsoft and IBM. The codename was "NT". Later, IBM and Microsoft couldn't agree on things and split the project in two.
Microsoft's half became "Windows NT" and IBM's half became "OS/2".

It probably has the control key back in the original location, where the CAPS Lock key is now. It may also has a double height return/enter key as the European keyboards still use and some keys arranged in the format that was prevalent prior to IBM PS/2 and its new style keyboard.

where did you decide to go? Did you get any scholarships?
I did get a scholarship and it definitely determined where I'm going.
I didn't qualify for need based aid at any college I got into, but Denison University awarded me a full academic merit scholarship. (It's a lot, in excess of $35k each year.) The only thing I'll have to pay is $200 for room and board every semester.
I didn't get any money from the other colleges, although I did receive several smaller, outside scholarships.
I'll be enrolling in Denison this August.
