It was one year ago today, Wednesday, November 6th, that Apple released new Titanium PowerBooks capable of burning DVDs. Who would have thought a year ago, that Apple was then to change the design of the PowerBook at the coming MacWorld with a 17-inch model or a 12-inch model? Hmm....does lightning strike twice?

One year ago I bought a 1 ghz Powerbook Superdrive. I assumed there was no way Apple would change the Powerbook right after a new update.

Flash forward to the keynote with me sitting in the crowd, whacking myself in the forehead upon hearing the announcement of the 17" Powerbooks.

Who knows what will be at this year's Keynote. Or next year's.

Well lets just hope for good things from Apple!!! We can always sell the old one on e-bay and buy a new one... Though buying a new PB just before a release would not be fun at all.
