G5 Book? Just passing on the news...don't thrash me

[Vard]

Found this:

http://www.theregister.com/2005/01/27/apple_site_powerbook_g5/

Went to the page and checked it out...as of 11:30am EST on Thursday, January 27th, it was still there...

Like I said, just passing on the news...could be nothing, could be something.

When's the ideal time before a new product launch to sell your Apple product? I want to sell mine before the G5 Powerbooks are released in order to get the most money to apply to it.

The article says the page has been changed.

 

[Vard]

Yes it has...the text now uses G4 in the place of the G5 from earlier...

The Reg still has a screen clip. Apple must have noticed a 'minor' upturn in site visits and realized something was a miss...oh well.

Later,
Eddie

People, the URL referenced is this: http://switch.atdmt.com/action/apple_g5_powerbook

However, take a look here:

http://switch.atdmt.com/action/apple_g6_powerbook
http://switch.atdmt.com/action/apple_g7_powerbook
http://switch.atdmt.com/action/apple_g8_powerbook
http://switch.atdmt.com/action/apple_g9_powerbook

You can view Google's cached page to see the "g5" reference for yourself (view source, search for "g5" - at the bottom).

wow, a G9 Powerbook. It will be so fast, we will finally have self aware computers

@Vard
You might want to look at making your sig smaller. It's 3 times the size of your post.

Well, http://switch.atdmt.com/action/applfrodo works, too, so it doesn't mean anything that g6 works, too. They use it as an identifier, the URL always loads a spacer GIF file. It seems it's either been a typo or a slip-up.
