Mr. Gogarty, how long ago did you buy your powerbook. I think that if it's within 14 days of the purchase, you can return it, saying that you weren't satisfied. And maybe if you …

Yeah... Mr. Gogarty, I have a bad feeling that you might have spent about $500 more than you had to... The PB 12" SuperDrive lists on store.apple.com for $1,699 USD, and the iBook…

damnit... no new powerbooks... can't decide whether to continue to wait or to suck it up and buy the current one.

The previous 3 releases have been Sept 03, April 04, and most recently Jan 05. So we're sitting almost at 10 months coming up here. That's pretty long. I would expect that they are…
