Refresh refresh! You're absolutely right. I've managed to limit myself to checking the site onyl 3 times today. That's pretty good. For an obsessed freak. :-) Heck, we might be waiting for March.

I'm not giving up until NEXT tuesday. After that, I think March is more likely. -d

Big screen? That's what the desktop is for! I really love the iBook line. I'm working on one right now (800mhz G3) that I've done EVERYTHING to and it still kicks butt. Movies, NeverWinter Nights, monstrous iTunes and iPhoto collection... it sti…

Okay, you're probably right... I kind of meant logical in a marketing release kind of way, not in a packaging way... but who knows. Hey, I've got the perfect solution for you! Buy a refurbed G5 Dual 2.0-- that will run you around $2,000. Al…

My 2-cent theory! The sales philosophy is the same with BMW and other "luxury" goods. If you are selling to people who can afford it, you offer the convenience of on-line BTO and they pony up for it. People like you and me, who research our com…

I think the tuesday a week from now is just as likely as tomorrow... That would put it right after iWork/iLife ships. Very logical! As to the other issue: I agree with some above that the PowerBook G4 is a great machine and if you want a compute…

The Beagle's two cents: I think this is ultimately going to be more about marketing than good technology sense. Most people buy more computer than they need... this is clear. I help set up medical practices from time to time, and they are alwa…

Quote: Originally posted by Amorph ... So if you need a PM, just get one. Okay, thank you *everyone* for enduring my posts and my endless whining. I promise, "No More!" I'm going to order the darn thing on Jan 26th, updates or no. Onwar…

Quote: Originally posted by D.J. Adequate I know one of the things Apple under Jobs is trying to do is move away from the expectation that everything will be updated twice a year at Macworlds... It "seems" like that, yes, but have you read/he…

No way! Holy cow. It's got to be an error. They wouldn't put a G5 in an iBook even if they COULD, it would throw their product line all out of wack. Still, pretty darn cool if even part of it is true. -d

Yah, after reading the post above, I went and checked out refurbs... you can't be sure what you are getting, actually-- in the fine print it says, "may or may not be installed." or something like that. But most probably everything will be the baseli…

You write quite well about the balance between "need"... and *want*. Thanks for your wisdom. You've definitely given me something to think about. The Dual 2.0 really will run everything quite beautifully, I know. (Heck, I'm pretty darn happy with th…

Quote: Originally posted by BrunoBruin Don't beg, it's SO unattractive. Faster G4 PowerBooks should come very soon; they have not been updated since last April and sales (down 29 percent) reflect that. Apple announced yesterday that they still h…

Thanks for your feedback. I've had a new video camera for over a year now and now way to edit videos. (Glacial on my 500mhz PB) And I'm a sometimes-gamer who would like to be able to pop in the latest stuff for the next couple years. SO, the faster …

Hey gang, I'm in the same boat as many of you. Desperate to buy a G5 PowerMac... not sure if I should wait or what. I knew PowerMac updates during the keynote were REALLY unlikely, with so many other cool media-blitz friendly things to release. …
