This is all the confirmation I need to think that an update to the Powerbook lineup is right around the corner. Today I went in to the University of Victoria in BC, Canada and the sales guy there told me that on top of the normal educational discount on the 12" Powerbooks he could offer another $150 additional off the price AND still offer the iPod promo deal also worth $225. I then said why the discount on top of the already discounted price? He said its due to them buying alot of stock and getting a deal from Apple. Well we all know this aint true. So I laughed and said or is it because of the lineup being updated very very soon? He commented...more than likely he said with a grin.
Got a tip for us?

I currently have a recent iMac 20" and a Mac Mini w/ (2)60gb iPods so no...my wife would kill me if I had. 
But if the update is something worth not waiting for Mactel then I might have to sell my PC laptop I bought for the midterm while I waited for a worthwhile Powerbook.

It does not necessarily mean that there are new power books coming out it may just be generous resellers.
Sorry if i sound pessimistic.

In my experience, Apple resellers do NOT budge from their prices. They may throw in extras to be competitive, but their prices are generally set in stone.
It definitely means something.
