 The let's-boycott-stupid-PowerBook-renaming thread
Here we go. I am determined to boycott Apple's renaming of the well established PowerBook brand to something that sounds like a joke and could have just as well been brought up by the bright marketing folks at Dell or HP (their equivalent being something like "Win Book Pro" or "Windows Book Pro").
I'm still sure as hell getting one but I'll remove that abominable name from the enclosure with all means necessary.
So, who sides with me on this issue? Or do you have any good reasons why the name should be changed? BTW, the PowerBook name has been around ever since the PowerBook 100 replaced the first real portable computer by Apple, the Macintosh Portable. Why oh why, Steve.....
