Did I make a mistake?
I have been reading several sites that have mentioned the idea of a G5 powerbook coming out in January. Last Thursday, I ordered a 15" powerbook and got the bigger, faster harddrive. This is a big investment for me and I am now worried that in January the G5 powerbook will come out and I will have wasted my money. The other thing that stinks is that it says on my status that it will ship on or before Dec. 16. I am wishing I would get it sooner. Give me your opinion(s). I took the jump and now I am worried that I have fallen flat on my face.

I'll tell you what happened to me. I spent 3000 last december for the last Ti with superdrive, only for a week later for the new Al ones to come out! but personally dude I still love my Ti to death, and I seriously doubt that if they did come out it'd be this january. Even if you do, the one you bought will be a kick ass machine, and it will still probably be cheaper than a g5 Powerbook as the price increase will be pretty steep. My bets anyway for a g5 powerbook will be this coming summer. Best of luck to you, think of it this way, your powerbook purchase was the omen to apple to finally release a g5 powerbook so that everyone could be happy. you are a martyr to the mac cause.
besides, I really don't think we're going to see g5 powerbooks in jan.
I know what you mean though. I've suffered from the syndrome for years and am finally getting over it. Fact of the matter is, new hardware next year will hardly do a better job than what's available this year, unless you really push it to its limits. 95% of us don't.
