Maybe everybody is noticing it (especially the folks at WWDC). But did anybody make note of it? For many of us knowing that only 5 percent of computer users appreciate the platform we love was painful. Now, Monday we saw how the last piece of the puzzle we were desperately waiting for - the G5 - has materialized. And Mac OS X not only has the potential but delivers in every respect. I think what Derrick wanted to tell us is that if there ever was a time for us Mac enthusiasts to forget about market share, sit back and enjoy, it is now! No more waiting for the top performing machine to arrive, no more waiting for the maturing and adoption of Mac OS X to actually happen. The time has come. Welcome to iHeaven!

  Amen!
  
  You've got to give Apple credit for getting it done. I receive flack no matter what I say. If I'm enthusiastic, then "I'm biased." If I criticize, then I'm "being mean to Apple." That's fine. It comes with my line of work.
  
  But the point is, and what's really important, Apple is doing a good job. And if I could report on what's going on in the sessions (NDA), then I could say even more.

  Well, you need not say more! We are pretty exactly in the middle of 2003. A fact cryptically brought to our attention by Jobs in his keynote... To me 2003 seems to be a pivotal year for Apple. Maybe not internally, but considering the significance of what is actually materializing. Thinking of Apple in 2004 it almost feels like a different company.
  
  But again, lets give the anticipation we are so used to a break! Time to celebrate! And then: the PowerMac G5 is such a perfect beauty. Why not letting the inspiration the sole contemplation of this machine provides flow into our own development work...
