Jobs Realizes He Forgot To Announce New Power Macs.

Earlier this morning, Apple CEO Steve Jobs awoke to the realization
that he forgot to announce new Power Macs at last week's Macworld
Expo New York.
According to Jobs, he was mortified. "It had been bugging me ever
since I got back from New York. I kept thinking I had left something
in the hotel room. Shoes? Toothbrush? What was it?"
"Then it hit me - I forgot to announce the damn Power Mac! Gah, I'm
such an idiot!"
Jobs blames the snafu on a last minute switch of which item, the 17"
iMac or the new Power Mac, was going to be the walk off "one more
thing".
"I thought it should be the Power Macs but [Senior Vice President
for Hardware Engineering] Jon [Rubinstein] thought it should be the
iMacs," Jobs explained. "We were arguing about it right before I went
on stage - 'Power Mac!' 'iMac!' 'Power Mac! 'iMac!' - when he
switched on me! He started saying 'Power Mac!' so I started saying
'iMac!' It was just reflex reaction!"
Confused by Rubinstein's ploy, Jobs was then rushed on stage where
he then neglected to make any mention of the new Power Mac, sporting
a new enclosure and a faster processor. Other Apple representatives
indicated they did not attempt to correct Jobs as they thought the
new Power Macs might have been pulled at the last minute.
"How the hell was I supposed to know?" asked Senior Vice President
for Software Engineering Avie Tevanian. "I just do the software, you
know? They drop the machines off and we write the software for them.
I don't know where the machines come from and I don't want to know.
I'm just doing my job. Don't try to pull me into this."
When eyes then turned to Senior Vice President for Applications Sina
Tamaddon, the Apple executive simply said "Hey, don't look at me.
'Applications.' Says so right on my business card. I don't know from
hardware."
A disappointed Jobs said "It's really a shame, too, because it's a
nice machine. It's got two full-sized bays for optical drives, a
headphone jack on the front panel, 1.5 Ghz G4s and some cool-looking
ventilation ports."
Jobs indicated Apple will likely introduce the new Power Mac at an
"Apple Event" in late summer or early fall, after the Macworld furor
has died down.
"No wonder everyone was so pissed off," Jobs said, shaking his head.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid!"
