I was just thinking earlier about the future use of the term Power. Whether you're talking about PowerBooks or Power Macs. The first Power Macs that came out were back when the PowerPC first came out. I'm assuming they are Power Macs because they use a PowerPC. I actually bought a PM 7100/66. My sister still uses it.
Do you guys think Apple will still use the term Power to define their pro systems or will they come out with something new to differentiate it. I'm thinking they will still use Power. It's a valuable name brand these days. Owning a PowerBook means something.

PowerBooks were called PowerBooks before the PowerPC processor...

Yeah, Apple names their machines based on the user.
For the Pro Machines they always use the word "Power". (PowerMac PowerBook)
For the consumer level machines and software they use the letter "i". (iMac, iBook, iPod and all the iApps).
Apple began naming the computers after the PowerPC architecture when the G3 was announced.

That's not quite right. Apple introduced the first Powerbook, the Powerbook 100 in October 1991.
