- Indeed. You thought last year was bad, what with machines being released,
- dropped to half price, and then discontinued within six months?
-
- This year's gonna be worse.
-
- Apple plans to release over 70 new products this year. More than one a week.
- If you own a Mac now, chances are it'll be obsolete by the end of the year.
- If you buy one now, chances are it'll be half the price in six months.
-
- Dealers in the UK are furious. Machines are being announced as 'to be
- discontinued' before dealers can get enough stocks to fulfil orders they've
- already taken, and customers forced to wait over two weeks for delivery are
- cancelling orders to get the latest super-whizzo machine instead.
-
- Enjoy.
