Heh, good ref comic! Just so happens I am currently under the process of acquiring a 17" Powerbook before the speed bump. Just taking advantage of the price slash I suppose.
Just need to clear my credit card, add a secondary delivery address to my credit card, and finally order it through my work discount. And hopefully, by end of Feb, I would have a new laptop. I have a name that is especially cute, already picked out.
Heh, maybe both Mick and I will have our own couples bubble when we visit the Apple store in London in the near future!
