That is interesting. They said they were using powerbooks. Now it would be just stupid of them to use the old powerbooks for desplay, and then the next week update the product line.

It would make sense to announce now, show actual product Monday, and have Steve announce shipment on the 16th...

Wouldn't it?

It would, if you're trying to convince yourself that you will be able to order a new PowerBook next week (and receive it sometime in the next 2 months). Ever hear the phrase "a watched pot never boils"?

Stop watching the pot.
