You seem to be the same type of person who gets mad because the 2002 car they just purchased is cheeper after the 2003 models are released.

What, did you think that Apple wasn't going to update the laptops? Or did you expect them to be a Wal*Mart and do some sort of price matching?

Annihilatus - you will notice that your post has been edited for the multiple use of profanity. Since it hardly seemed fair that i delete the time and energy spent in replying to you by deleting your post as is my policy with multiple infractions in the same post, I am issuing you a public warning. any further violation of site policy will result in membership here being revoked.

i don't care if you are dissed at apple. i am only concerned that you follow site policy in telling us about it. and so far everybody has treated you with common courtesy and respect for something that you really have nobody but yourself to blame for. believe me when i say that it takes considerable amount of self control for even me to not break site policy in response to your temper tantrum.

I just purchased a new car and the second I drove it off the lot its value dropped $3000.

You think you've got problems? Please!

Welcome to reality, please take your seat.

Yeah man... darn Apple... they should have not upgraded... my 6100 would still be worth the thousands I paid for it in 1994.

But but but... being a fellow human and all I can say is, you should have hold your horses and read the rumours section, they are here for a reason. And I stronly believe Apple leaked releases to "warn" potential buyers there is something new on the horizon, though they will NEVER commit to the release, because Mr Jobs can sometimes change things last minute before a release to tweak it for the better.

This is the experience.

I think the poor dude is pissed as he is, let's cut him some slack. There was another dude who posted in these forums that he bought a Blue and White G3 Tower a few days before G4s were released and he is still keeping the G3 Tower and "boycotting" the G4 until G5 is released. That is hillarious, but he is still keeping that promise to himself.

Most of us will wait because when we hear rumour, we know for the better that something will be happening. Whether is it a big change or not.

Whew... another long post...

Darn Apple, should not have upgraded their product line... lol... ok, shall not rub it in anymore.

Peace.

I got a new iBook, I'm happy. True, I would have been less happy had I purchased an iBook 4 days before the new releases but that is one of the reasons I belong to a Mac forum, to have some idea what's going on behind the scenes.

I've seen Annihilatus post enough around here to say, what the hell was he thinking?
