Sorry folks, not from Apple.

Perhaps the fact that the article stated that Apple would announce it at 
MacWorld Expo would have tipped you off. Anyone who has known Apple from past
experience will know that Apple rarely, if ever, announces new products at 
trade shows.

It just irks me when magazines like Infoworld have the audacity to make it
sound like such announcements were facts instead of just the wild roumors
which they really are! 

I ought to know. I worked for Apple this summer, and have some ideas of what
might be announced in the current months. While I cannot, of course, relay
them here, I can say, however, that you can take much of what you read in
the trade journals with a grain of salt.
