Yeesh- It's "Extreme" (10/25/97)

Just yesterday, MacOS Rumors told the world that Steve Jobs was considering naming the new high-end Powermac line, hitherto known by its code name "PowerExpress," the "Power Macintosh G3 Extreme." Well, only twenty-four hours later they are saying that the decision appears to be final.
Despite its less-than-inspiring name, the available options are impressive: who here wants a 2nd-generation DVD drive? How about a Zip Plus? Or a Jaz 2? Well, apparently these options and others are within reach, as Apple moves to its direct-marketing scheme which includes custom configurations.
Unfortunately, we won't have these puppies at January's MacWorld Expo, as has been previously reported; apparently they will now not be available until February or March, as Steve-O is demanding some more power, such as a 66-83 MHz system bus (instead of the originally-planned 50 MHz one), etc. Sigh. Guess we'll have to wait...

(10/25/97) Things have gone a little further than yesterday; thessaSOURCE is now reporting that Steve Jobs has already told Apple that he will in fact become permanent CEO. The announcement is expected next week, and as early as Monday to try to reverse Apple's recent massive stock slide... 120: Billy Sounds Off (10/25/97) Scripting.com has posted a memo that Bill Gates recently sent to Jim Carlton, the author of Apple: The Inside Story of Intrigue, Egomania and Business Blunders. Bill was interviewed by Jim for the book, and this memo is his reaction to having read the finished product...
