Question Paris Expo

Now Steve Jobs is doing the keynote speech that surely clears up the mystery of what's happened to the new Powerbooks.

September 16: new 15" Powerbook launch, and upgraded 17" and 12" to be announced.

That's my guess.

That has also been the guess of most of us for the last months, but I was really hoping they would do it all last tuesday as rumored...

I expect they will also release Panther at the same time...and the powerbooks will be Steve's "one more thing"

Hi Luke.
Steve was there last year, and if I remember right the year before and so on .. for the new stuff, we'll see then. I guess new rabbits from the hat expected. Are you going to be there?

If someone wants to register for the expo, http://www.apple-expo.com/ - registering online early enough gives free tickets sent to home.

Check the special Panther forum, machacker... 7B44 is actually very stable.

I kind of want to install it on my iPod, but then I don't have any legit source of obtaining it ;^) Anyone get my drift?
How much space does the system take up? I have about 1.5 - 2 GB Free on my iPod, and I would be willing to clear up space but it would be simpler not to.

Honestly, I hope Apple releases the new PowerBooks sooner.
I've convinced two people (both PC users) into purchasing a new PowerBook for college.
One is leaning for a 17" - the other either 15" or 17" (I think she'd prefer the 15") - only thing holding them back from purchasing (especially the 15") is the update that should be coming (I told them it MIGHT happen last week)

She looked at the 15 compared to the 12 and 17, and could tell that it was outdated.

The guy, I know, will probably purchase a PowerBook. The girl, I'm not so sure if she's willing to wait till Expo for the machines. Especially with school starting soon.
