Prelaunch speed bump

Hey, Apple lovers!

Remember the bad old days, when Motorola couldn’t produce the chips Apple wanted, and it took years before Macs got any kind of speed bump? Those were the days when Apple tried to fight back by marketing against “the megahertz myth”.

Well, if you want to cry tears of joy, take a look at the Mac Book Pros – the Intel-based laptops Apple introduced last month.

They’ve gotten a speed bumpand they haven’t even shipped yet!

That’s gotta be a record for a speed bump of a product line. As well as a sweet Valentine’s Day gift. OK, maybe not a Valentine’s Day gift.

Update 6:44 AM 15 February 2006: Actually, the Mac Book Pros are shipping this week. I tried to add this yesterday but Blogger was blobbered.
