Is it possible that the slew of current delays and software failures that we are all experiencing with iLife, Keynote, and the '17 Powerbooks be a sign that Apple was right about having to adhere to IDG's convention schedule. Is it that Apple, being forced into producing great hits at a few conventions a year, is now rushing ahead products they would much rather wait another three or four months to release. I myself believe that if Apple would have fllowed the small regional schedule they wanted then problems like the likes of Keynote would not be occuring. We MAc owners may have become too thirsty for one or two Appe Christmas like days a year. I for one would much rather see Apple put on smaller events in which Hardware would be available for immediate purchase and delivery (i.e. '17 Powerbooks) and software would be glitch free and ready to run on any system. What do you all think?

Sounds about right. Like a farmer taking a crop of Apples to the yearly farmers market before they are ripe, then having people compain that they aren't good enough to eat yet.

Fantastic analogy! I tend to agree...


To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transportation.
