And it seems that my wish has come thru. Apple Announces October 14 Notebook Event.

Gadget geeks all over the world are participating in a frantic wildest-guesses competition, but so far it looks like a 13″ Aluminum MacBook of some sort is part of the announcement. And also reduced prices thruout the range. Whee.

Silver Pup), it IS getting kinda slow. Also, it seems that Intel binaries are the future. I can’t even run the iPhone SDK on the PPC.

Good news every one! It seems that Apple is getting ready for a refresh of the MacBook line. I realise that getting a “just-after-lauch” version of a Cupertino product, may shatter my experience of reliability and stability – but I’m getting desperate.

Maybe a 13″ MacBook Pro will soothe my aches. (Crosses fingers)
