well I think i could get a PB 550 on ebay after MWNY02 bc I think they will fall in price due to a PB "speed bump". This is all assumption though. Most 550 about 2000s, but prolly get one on ebay cheaper, if you trust em.
I think 550MHz TiBook owners might think their TiBooks are becoming slow in comparison to the new TiBooks. So they are willing to sell their TiBooks in order to get new ones after MWNY02. That's why I think I can probably get a TiBook for about 1800 after MWNY02. (that is what I am doing with my iBook 500Mhz with 66Mhz bus speed. It's on ebay if you want to check it out. <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2036569068" target="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2036569068</a> ). So now I am not sure whether to stick with an iBook or get a TiBook G4.

The 550 is indeed a sweet machine... but then again those recent PB updates are mighty nice too!
(sort of makes you wonder what the next updates will hold... and when we'll see them!)
Any chance that:
1) If you don't take the 550, that someone else (i.e., me) could get in on it?
or
2) You can direct me to the source of these prices for 550 TiBooks?
Thanks! email me at [email protected] if neccessary.

And what makes you think that new TiBooks are in the offering? They just got updated about 9 weeks ago, IIRC.
I hope you are right.
