Luckily, I recently redeemed myself by holding off on buying an iBook for a couple of days and lo and behold, the G4 iBooks came out. I bought an iBook G4 the 3rd day it was out, which was the same day Panther was released. But I still wish I had gotten a Powerbook.

So ... like any reasonable person might do, I put the 8200 on eBay and ordered the 8500. Only lost a couple hundred. I also just ordered a 12" PowerBook which should arrive today. Can't wait!

I also just ordered a 12″ PowerBook which should arrive today. Can’t wait!

Is part of their "buyer experience" :-) I just placed the order for my 12" PowerBook today. And I can hardly wait to have it here while I pray for apple not showing G5 Powerbooks soon.

No buyer's remorse, but I would've been much happier if I had made my purchase earlier. Enjoy your new machine! All due respect to Dangermouse, but I’d say:
