I really think Steve Jobs would like to announce the famous 3ghz G5 itself, and not just put it on the apple website for everybody to see, he will be making a big thing out of it (and off course, it is!).
So I guess 3ghz by the summer, that's what he said, and he will have been careful with that prediction, otherwise it would be plain stupid, but 2-3 months ahead of schedule? no, I don't think so.
My guess is the time before NAB will be most interesting.
rev B Powermac annoucements (1-2 week delay in shipping)
speedbumped *books, and maybe the announcement of a totally new iMac (not so sure about this one, maybe also just a speedbump).
In any case, there is an IBM powerevent the 31st, this won't go unnoticed, and IBM will be talking about all of his processors, including 970,970fx,975, etc..
April will shed more light onto apple's future concering hardware linup (excluding iPod and Displays)
It would be fantastic if Apple were able to do a 3 GHz this early. Do I think it's likely? Not a snowball's chance in hell. But I would love to be proved wrong

The store is open today (Thursday) and has items that were not available yesterday. Normally the store is only open on Wednesdays.

And open again today with yet more stock.

Mmm.. large quantities refurbished PowerBooks and iBooks...
Perhaps 'white spots' and 'logic board problems' caused this???

Logic board problem was a G3 iBook thing surely.
And white spots didn't affect all of the PowerBooks (15" only, I thought)
And what does that say about the iMacs that are available?
And why the displays?
And it's open today (Saturday) with even more stock
It's channel clearing - no other explanation makes sense.
decision time.
have to buy something tomorrow (for tax purposes). had fingers crossed for either a price drop on existing 20" or new models.
looks like existing 20" at full price for me...
Yesterday all three PowerMac G5's were available on the Apple refurbs page. Today none of the three are.

Hence the "meaningless."

Interesting things happened to the French Refurb Store.
