Some of the people now looking will think twice, but more so the
people
looking at one in 12-18 months, with the imminent release of the intel
Macs looming. That is when Apple will be taking a hardware sales hit.

Good point Len. Odds are STEVE has it planned pretty closely and
if there is to
be a sales hit, maybe he's got a few extra iPods to push.
Another good point. Maybe he has been waiting for all of this extra
revenue from iPods and iTunes to cushion this move, I mean lets face
it, without those extra millions, this would be a MUCH more painful
move. He has probably had this planned since the conception of OS X
and waiting for the right time.
I guess we can expect some deals on G5s. (If only they'd run os9.)
Yea, I'm hoping for a deal on a 17" aluminum powerbook myself. :)
