The rumour only mentioned the PowerBook. The claim is they aren't going to be able to push the G5 much faster and that's why the PowerBook upgrades will stop. The iBooks don't run the very fastest processors yet so presumably they could be upgraded a while longer, until they're running the same CPU as the current PowerBook generation. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu] On Behalf Of Marta Edie Sent: Friday, August 12, 2005 3:58 PM To: macgroup at erdos.math.louisville.edu Subject: Re: MacGroup: The last PowerPC PowerBooks? Does that go for the iBook, too?
