Ummmm..... with Jobs running the show, every MacWorld Expo has become a surprise (BTW, I like the "Blue Dalmatian", but not the "Flower Power"). My predictions? We'll be seeing faster G4 processors -- this has become apparent with the drop of the 667MHz processor due to both higher demand and *****supply***** of the 733MHz G4 chip. It looks like Motorola is finally getting back on track in terms of meeting production quotas. (Unfortunately, the "I" of the "AIM" alliance -- Apple, IBM, Motorola -- is not doing the R&D that they used to; after all, whatever happened to the 1.1GHz G3 they demoed a year ago?) What else? I think the TiBook might get a speed-bump, after all, we have significantly faster G4 processors. I don't think the iMac, or the iBook line will be played with. As for your prediction about the Ti-Jr., I sincerely hope that it is true (I agree with your statement "...Ti-Jr which, as much as I'm impressed with the Ti-Book, I would dearly love to see. I'd rather have a sub-notebook than watch DVD's in wide screen format.") I have heard rumors of a Palm type device (a la Newton MessagePad), but I hope Apple persues a Ti-Jr, instead -- I trust most listers will agree. Hey, there's an interesting sentence to complete -- "If I was running Apple..."
