I have class tomorrow during the keynote. I've already decided that I'm ditching class to follow the live coverage, as it's in one of the few classrooms that still doesn't have WiFi.

I think it's pretty certain that there won't be a 2.8 GHz Yonah based mini, as Yonah doesn't go up that high. I wouldn't be surprised to see something closer to 1.6 GHz.

Plasma... too fragile, too heavy, LOW resolution... and what market is clamoring for this? Bad idea... Plasma is going to quickly go the way of the dodo. Why pay $2000+ for a monitor with a native resolution no better than SVGA and is extremely susceptible to burn-in?

Somehow I just can't feel good about this years MacWorld in SF.

I feel like a Bronco fan after the 1999 Superbowl waving goodbye to John Elway and realizing that Brian Griese was going to be the future.

My intellect knows I have to say goodbye to the great old guy to make way for budding future stars but my heart is telling me this has got to be a mistake.

This is how I feel about the switch from PPC to x86. Is this really the best future for Apple, I guess we will find out because we won't be able to look back after tomorrow!:(

I second that. Plus Yonah is only at 1.5 - 2.1GHz right now, I thought. Well, one can dream. No wonder folks are so let down after these shows. :mad:
