mate your the only who can answer that question, remember 2 things though before spending any money
1. Do i need that much computer or will something else do the job required
2. Are you getting value for money?

guys, big thanks for your help. i'm working on a piece of crap pc that crashes every 10 mins....no joke. i've been waiting for over a year for this thing......so i'm thinking what's another month. but i feel like i need something now so that i can get work done on it....and i also see what you're saying that any updates won't be earth-shattering.
If you need it, go for it.
If there's any PowerBook updates soon.. like mentioned before, they won't be drastic -- Apple's probably waiting for the Intel switch to do anything crazy-like.
What they're offering now are wonderful machines, albeit a little pricey considering their age (IMHO). Go for it.

so i actually drove for 2 hours that night just to get to within 10 miles of the store at closing time......got stuck in 2 traffic jams. (i drove so far to try to save on sales tax.) i'm so bad with decisions.....especially my first new computer in 7 years. now i'm seeing it as a sign to just wait even more......i don't feel like driving up there again right now. i've been waiting for over a year.....what's another month or 2?
also, i thought that a good friend bought a 12" pb last summer around august (and got the ipod through the cram and jam offer) RIGHT after they were updated. but i checked this site and it has no record of there being an update last august. but i could swear that there was a pb update last summer DURING the cram and jam offer.
thanks again for your help.
