I guess this is a good problem to have, but I'm getting a Powerbook and G5 this summer and can't decide how to purchase everything. It will all be under an edu discount, so I HAVE to buy one before June 30 and one after, to fall within the edu terms and conditions. WWDC falls around then.
In a previous thread, I said I wanted to buy the Pbook with the display I'll be using on the Pmac so that my Applecare for the Pbook will apply to the display too. I don't want Applecare for the Pmac, so that option is out. Now, IF apple releases new displays and Power Macs at the beginning of WWDC, I would be ok and buy the Pmac before June 30th, then a couple days later buy the Pbook with a newly rev-ed 20 incher. If Apple doesn't update displays at WWDC OR waits til the end, then I would be screwed.
On the other hand, I could use a Pbook now. The problem for me is that I need to have applecare on my Pbook, but I don't want to "waste" the 250 bucks or whatever for Applecare on the G5, cause I'll treat it like a newborn child when it arrives (yes, that does include breast-feeding). If I bought the Pbook and display NOW though, I would be too low on cash to get the G5 when it is released, and I'll need it before summer's end so it's not like I can wait a month after release to order.
So, if any of this made sense to you, hook me up with your advice.
Thanks,
