Nice to see other price drops in Canada - $50 off iBooks, more reduction for iMac and dispalys etc.

I don't think the prices of PowerBooks have dropped, however...


..Which must mean a powerBook G5 next week. :rolleyes:

What shocks me is the fact apple are actually shipping systems with 1Gb of RAM, about time I say. How long do we have to wait before the Powermacs get the same treatment.

Still strange that by default there is no video card installed.
Some dealers don't have those cards in stock, delaying the shipping date.

I can understand why Apple leaves them out, but they should make sure that the PCI grfx cards are readily available everywhere.

Lovely Xserve though!

3.0GHz may be the magic frequency. ;)
