Ok, so I waited for MWSF and no price drops, do I wait till late Jan. when Apple is notorious for updating computers, or do I throw caution to the wind and go get one right now, or…

iREZ: Like you, I was hoping that this MacWorld would bring updated PowerBooks. My guess is that if there are any type of updates they will be minor. Steve & Co. might be rolli…

I'm amazed they were able to fit 2 2Ghz G5s in a 1U enclosure. That has to be a positive sign for a G5 PB in the not too distant future.

Happy Phantom: Good question. For me, I'm going to wait til the 16th then get the PowerBook. My guess is that by then, the new iLife will be pre-installed on the PowerBooks, or wou…

Ahhhh - The famous Apple-waiting game. Thats the most difficult game in the life of a mac-mind. There are a handfull rules: 1. Never buy a Revision A 2. Never buy before a keynot…

Finally a post that helps me, Thanks. I think Imma wait till the 16th and just go get one.
