Well, it is Apple, after all. When I bought my original G3 tower many years ago, I was stoked that I had the fastest personal computer on the planet at the time. Then, 32 days later, Apple released one with a 25% speed bump, SCSI interface and more memory at the same price.
Leo Laporte had an interesting twist on it on one of his podcasts, he said the $200 drop seemed a bit drastic, but he felt that Apple misread the market. They had a massive spike in sales at the beginning but it flattened out after the hype went away and they're still shooting for that 10 million sales mark. But hey, I'd settle for $100 credit at the Apple Store. I'll bet you could hold out for more.
