Have you watched the new Powerbook videos?
Have you watched the new Powerbook videos?
I love the "Big And Small" advert and also the Intro Video. Especially BT (Brian Transeau) 's expression when they dimm the lights and the keyboard lights up on the 17". 
These new Powerbooks look incredible.

I love those videos also, and I can't wait for my new 12" PowerBook to arrive; however, that expression he has when the lights are dimmed, and when he says "oh, it's auto sensing", is so fake I laughed. Otherwise, very good videos.

"Big and Small" and Cosmos, are good, but the narrator's voice is awful. The Intro Video is exactly what I expected it would be.

Re: Have you watched the new Powerbook videos?
ok i didnt think the autosensing was that fake. maybe it was, but it was done pretty well. I loved how he was buggin out when the lights went down, and then nearly smurf himself when he saw the glowing keys. Im gonna show off my new 17 to all my PC friends that way. They dont even know what is going on in the mac world, so when i pull that off, they will have the same pants wetting reaction. Just dont tell them about it and let them notice it for themselves-and play it down. "yea, its just another one of those inovations apple gives, nothing ground breaking." And then the techno lust will be in full throttle.
Yes, thats the jist of it!
