New and Noteworthy: Apple Expo speculation high; Backup software review

CNET News.com readers have weighed in on what the new machine might have in store. Although, as any Apple fanatic worth their salt knows, rumors concerning product launch dates only pan out about 50 percent of the time. Besides, the contrarians would say, it's unlikely the new machine will debut at the Paris show given there's a reported short supply of G5 chips." More.
