[DM-MUG] new albook codename

[Allen Huffman]

AlBook is what I have been using; I've ran into the same situation you 
are having.  Did previous TiBooks have FW800, though?  I think if you 
check Apple's support pages, they have something they tag onto it -- 
like FW800 or something?  (My first TiBook was the original model from 
2001, so I don't remember if the older TiBook ever got FW800).

Speaking of -- I picked up a 160GB drive from CompUSA ($60 after 
rebate) a few weeks ago.  My WD enclosure was dead so I bought another 
one.  This one supports USB 2.0 and Firewire 400.  I ran some 
benchmarks and the USB 2.0 was noticeable slower than FW400.  A PC 
friend of mine claims USB 2.0 is supposed to be faster -- is the Apple 
implemention just not up to speed, or is there something else going on?

what is the codename for the newer Al powerbooks? (ie Pismo, 
Wallstreet,  etc?) I've got the newer 1Ghz G4 12" from the fall with 
the mini-DVI.  Is there a term I can google for that won't bring up the 
older 867Mhz ones, or is albook the best there is?
