Really? Wow, that's surprising. It just seems like there is always a special event for new, redesigned products.

yes, I also thought about this. If there is going to be a re design, then there has to be some kind of event. Since there isn't any normal yearly apple event anytime soon, there should be invitations to a special event sent out. Seeing how there's n…

As a professional mac user, I like to think that Apple still hasn't forgotten about that user base. You have to remember that even though the proportion of consumers on macs to Professionals on macs is like 100:1, that's just because there aren't th…
