A lower price. Since I'm waiting until the summer or fall for my major purchases, tomorrow's changes don't directly affect me. They do make me hopeful that the 60GB model will hit $399 by then (assuming it hits $499 tomorrow).

Expect Rev b sometime in the may/june timeframe. Trout, if you got a dell with 64 MB of VRAM in "1999/2000", you must have paid top dollar. Complete systems were shipping at that point with 64MB of system memory (the iMac; and in fact for half th…
