"But Our Stove Is Electric!" (9/18/01)

Hmmm, strange that we haven't seen this plastered all over the 'net by now, but maybe everyone's out playing stickball or something. So do we get to call it an "exclusive" when we mention offhandedly that Mac OS X 10.1 (that's "Puma" to the numerically challenged among you) officially went golden master this morning? At least, that's what we're hearing from multiple sources. Prepare for a release this month as promised; given the timing, we'd have to guess that all systems are go for an official release at Seybold next week, if not even sooner.
As for the validity of our sources, rest assured that they are beyond reproach: Steve Jobs himself appeared before us in flowing silver robes, anointed our heads with fragrant oil, announced in a booming, echoey voice that "10.1 is now golden master; alert the masses!" and then punched us in the head. And by multiple sources, we mean that shortly after we came to, he did the same thing all over again. That time we woke up surrounded by EMTs trying to tell us something, but we were far too excited by our wondrous visitation to pay them much mind. (Something something "gas leak" yadda yadda yadda.)
So there you have it; incontestable proof that 10.1 is done and coming soon. Incidentally, when he appeared, Steve had the string "5G64" emblazoned across his mighty chest, though any similarity to Mac OS X build numbers is probably entirely coincidental. Oh, and he was also accompanied by three mighty cats: a cheetah, a puma, and something new-- a jaguar. Make of that what you will. Funny how little things like that can slip one's mind when one's body is dealing with a divine vision. Or a lack of oxygen to the brain. Whatever.

 | | The above scene was taken from the 9/18/01 episode: September 18, 2001: Prepare yourselves, because the G5 looks to be one speedy little number when it debuts this winter. Meanwhile, Mike Dell's at it again, this time with an "easy-open chassis," and we have it on good authority that Mac OS X 10.1 has officially reached golden master status...
Other scenes from that episode: 3306: Toss Another G On The Pile (9/18/01) For those of you who missed that "Total Distraction: The Making of AtAT" special on HBO a few months back (ed. note: that may actually have been a massive delusion on our part), allow us to let you in on a little behind-the-scenes fact: AtAT's primary production Mac isn't technically a Mac at all... 3307: Stolen Design Of The Hour (9/18/01) We here at AtAT firmly believe that it's never too late to better oneself; on that note, allow us to share with you our two big New Year's Resolutions. First of all, we hereby resolve to get things done on time and never to procrastinate...
