- There will *ALWAYS* be *someone* who purchases something, only to
- find out it's discontinued not too long after that purchase unless

- Right... I agree with you... I can understand people being
- disappointed that there now is a better faster machine out now,
- but they should ask are they happy with there machine? Did the
- machine slow down or get worse after the new one came out? And
- about the comment someone made that people should wait till
- apple gets there act together, (the bad act being machines were
- coming out too fast) well then there in for a long wait as
- apple wants to INCREASE the spead that new machines hit the
- market.... They are shooting for a 6 months target!
