Sunday, 14 October 2001 : "Tuesday will be big..?"

Tuesday, October 16th looks like it'll be eventful...

Back up your important documents now, Windows folks (it's not a high probability that something bad will happen, but it's always a good idea to back up...): SirCam due to wipe Windows PCs next Tuesday [The Register, from last week]

Also Tuesday, Apple's supposedly updating the Powerbook and iBook lines [CNET], making them much more attractive deals:
Apple is making no major design changes to either portable, opting instead to boost the processing speed, memory and hard drive, sources said.

The updated Titanium PowerBook models are expected to sport new graphics chips from ATI Technologies, larger hard drives and faster processors. Sources said to look for 667MHz and perhaps 550MHz models. ... [Apple] is also expected to offer models with CD-rewritable drives and, at least optionally, combination CD-RW/DVD drives.
And the first-ever DVD of a Star Wars movie (Episode I: The Phantom Menace) is coming out Tuesday.
