They did

Yep, they're here. Not much of an update in many ways but still a much better deal than if I'd bought one a couple of weeks ago. The new Powerbook has a higher res screen, more graphics memory, better battery and a $500 price drop. Not bad. And there's a build to order option for a 7200rpm drive, which is great for audio related work. So a new mac will be heading my way soon. Powerbooks are a serious investment. Not cheap (a G5 iMac or a G5 Powermac would cost less), but portability has been great for me in the last 4 years and this old Mac is just not up to the newer apps too well. It's going to hang on though as it can be used as a processor node for Logic Pro, and still boots OS9. Of course for anything but producing music or doing sound editing and all that its fine, so this old TiBook will be thrashed until it dies. Not bad for a four year old computer that has been around the world about 5 times.
