  • Maybe the better question is why are PC's so cheap? With 2 exceptions Macs are selling at about the same price points they have been for years. Powerbooks are for some odd reason at their highest prices ever and the high iMacs are testing out a hi…
  • 1) I don't believe that we will be getting a 970 Mac until the 2nd half of 2003. 2) Panther, which is one of pieces that will force OSX only boots, won't be availible until July 03 anyway. Lack of enablers and drivers for 9 will be the other pie…

  • 2/3rds gone, no not yet. Maybe when this has bottomed out, but I doubt it would go that far. You did pick a pretty large number to be on the safe side for your argument, but the changes don't need to be so drastic, even a 10% to 20% change would…
