Finally! "Redmond Justice" fans rejoice, as the show has officially scheduled a time slot for its return to the airwaves. According to a Reuters article, one of Judge Jackson's aides announced that, "barring some unforeseen delay," the show will resume with new episodes beginning on June 1st-- only two weeks away, and immediately following the three-day Memorial Day weekend. For those of us who have been waiting impatiently since the trial adjourned back in late February, it's like some sort of beautiful dream...
We're particularly excited about the June 1st date, because so many shows are just now airing their season finales, meaning that at least one kick-butt drama will be entertaining us with fresh material while everyone else commences the long, steady trek through rerunsville. For those of you who need a recap on the plot, both Microsoft and the government have finished with their twelve primary witnesses, and next up will be the presentation of three rebuttal witnesses for each side. Microsoft is calling AOL's David Colburn (as a hostile witness, no less-- oughta be some sparks flying there!), Gordon Eubanks of Oblix, Inc., and the ever-lovin' economist Richard Schmalensee. The government's line-up includes IBM's Garry Norris, "computer expert" Edward Felten, and another economist-- Franklin Fisher.
So that's that, and there's nothing left to do but wait. We're now seriously warming up to the theory postulated by many faithful AtAT viewers over the course of the past several weeks: "Redmond Justice" purposely extended its hiatus so as not to get drowned in the hype surrounding the Star Wars: Episode I premiere. By June 1st, the hullabaloo should fade to a dull roar and everyone's favorite courtroom drama can get the attention it so rightfully deserves. Is it any coincidence that the trial date was announced the day before the Star Wars premiere?

 | | The above scene was taken from the 5/18/99 episode: May 18, 1999: The eMate and the iBook were/are shock-resistant, but one of Apple's future portables is rumored to be water-resistant, too. Meanwhile, "Redmond Justice" gears up for a June 1st return to the airwaves, and in Italy, iMacs in appliance stores are being snapped up by the local computer-novice populace...
Other scenes from that episode: 1541: Of Macs And Mr. Bubble (5/18/99) As Apple-watchers, we're pretty much compelled to keep an eye on rumors about future Apple hardware. That's why we're so indebted to Apple Insider for keeping us all up to date with their new report on internal Apple projects; much of the information we've seen before, but it's always nice to have all the data encapsulated in a neat little package... 1543: But Can It Purée? (5/18/99) You know, here at AtAT we really think that Apple's hit on a very important concept in addressing the consumer computer market. There are many, many "normal people" out there who still don't own a computer, for whatever reason-- either they don't need one, think they don't need one, or are scared of them...
