Maybe this is the G5? This is the first time that I'm actually believeing a G5 (or whatever they decide to call it) is in the not-too-distant future.<br><br>Great wits are sure to madness near allied.--John Dryden, "Absalom and Achitophel"

MacOS rumors isn't even hesitating about calling it the G5. If that really is true, I think that is very exciting! Something awesome to look forward to for Apple.<br><br>

I think the G5 was on motorola's roadmap but not on IBMs... but that's neither her nor there... I can and usually am wrong... and my source at motorola isn't awake right now.<br><br>"In the old days, you'd finish a day's work and announce, 'I'm done.' Nobody ever does that now.
