iBook nomenclature

[JayBee]

Just out of idle 3-30am curiosity:

The new powerbooks are called TiBooks

The new iBooks are called iceBooks

The G4s all seem to have names ( Quicksilver, AGP, Yikes etc)

The iMacs don't, but there hasn't been much difference in that line, and the new iMac is still just "The New iMac" (Though I have heard flatPac used more than once...)

The old powerbooks had Lombards, Wallstreets et al.

...

So what about the old iBooks?

PurseBook? :)

[JayBee]

LOL!

I've also had the "bumperBook" suggested to me :)

Owning one, I was hoping for something a little less, well, comedy. Mind you, I probably shouldn't have bought one if that's what I was looking for :D

plastic mac? flat mac? lampmac? ilamp? anglemac? i cant think of anything that isn't derogatory, even though i like them. flatmac i like.:confused:

I've always thought of them as the Clamshell personally, though I like pursebook.

[daimoni]

I just call them iBooks. :)

The old style: "clamshell" or "toilet seat"
The new style: "dual USB" or code name "marble" iBooks.

I'm fine with the name "TiBook"...

But I find myself bristling at the name "icebook"... maybe it's because when Apple released the "snow" CRT iMac, they didn't call it "ice"?... though I admit to never hearing the term "snowbook" before. Heh. Heh. ;)

To each their own. I'm just glad I have one!

Well, in Sweden they are generally known as "dasslock", which translates into toilet seat... :p
