PowerMac and Display Rumors
According to Appleinsider, Apple is warning resellers of an upcoming "dry spell":
In a subsequent report, Appleinsider claims the new PowerMac revisions may not ship in quantity until before May.
Also expected are price drops on Apple LCDs next week to help clear the channel.
Despite these reports, we've heard ongoing evidence that Apple is in final preparations for new product releases. Date of official release remains unknown.
The company went on to warn dealers that all CPU inventory (with the exception of Power Macs) is expected to be "sold-out" by March 27th and a product dry spell would occur for approximately the first three weeks in April.

Interesting that they're actually telling resellers about it. Are they trying to get current models moving in preperation for an upcomming release, or is this really just "innocent" preparation for the educational buying season?

Nope, just Apple being itself. :(
What could be the problem?
IBM getting the MOTO-disease??? :D

Well if Apple lowers the price on LCDs next week, I'll do my part and help clear the channel.

This seems like *good* news to me. There's no earthly reason that apple would be unable to supply emacs, imacs, etc. (machines that have been out for months and months with old CPUs) unless they were no longer producing them. And the only reason that they wouldn't be producing them is if they were ramping up production of new models. Right?
edit: never mind. just saw the actual article. It will happen because apple will be filling large educational orders.

I hope they cut prices on the monitors like the last big cut they did when the 20" replaced the 22". At that time the 23" price was about cut in half. I would definitely buy a 20" at half the current listed price. Too bad this really won't happen though. It makes me wonder should I buy the current discounted monitor offering or wait for the new ones. Answer - wait because the new ones will be that much better and probably cheaper or about the same price as the discounted current models anyway.

Does that match up with that April 23rd or so date I saw? The first 3 weeks would be after the 21st of April. So I would guess the Tuesday of that week we should see some updates.
