- An update of the current PowerMac lineup around April with Firewire 2, new graphic cards and superdrives, and dual 1.4 GHz

- An update with the "G5" whatever it'll be in september, I may add, at last a major release in Paris'Apple Expo ? The features listed are drool material…

- and last: a dual processor powerbook later…
