And, now, a Powerbook G4 15" 1.67 Ghz notebook with MorphOS 3.1 (still under construction).

Just bought 1.42 GHz iBook as substitute for above.

BTW - I still have an old A2000 for the days I'm into pain.

Any clue to when they will be selling product and not hype?

So, not available and costs as much as my computer but does less. Granted most of that cost is the short run to make the cases. The page doesn't even list what the specs are. CPU speed, ports, etc.

I should have said ship product.

I might get one anyway and resell the optiplex!

According to everyone, supposedly tomorrow. But I'll only believe that when someone offers to take money in exchanges for one. And I'm not going to be first in line (my next buy is going to be a Powerbook for future MorphOS use).

Edit - Uh, is it after midnight? Thanks Red. I guess now.

Anyone notice the fact that the Disney name and copyright only flashes up for a split second and that on YouTube itself you can only access it if you have a direct link... wonder why that is... hmmm...

@Franko

iirc, you linked in another thread that you were off to watch WrestleMania.
I was just checking today's news links about the topic at hand and found something related:

"Sheamus: When I was young, I had a Commodore 64 and then an Amiga, so I started on that."

Q&A: Pro wrestler Sheamus on video games, WWE

With hands the size Sheamus has got I reckon he must've went through a fair amount of Joysticks back in the day...

Odd thing is I wouldn't have put him down as being old enough to remember the C64...

Anyway the Undertaker still rulez... 19 & 0
