I'm the same way. I bet macrumors traffic will go back to nothing after the new PowerBooks get here.
"Year of the Notebooks" my butt. It was really like "Mid February of the Notebooks"

I am going to update. As soon as I get home. :)
And 3-4 times a day? I probably check this site at least fifty times a day. *Hehe* Of course I'm reading and replying to posts...

I just all the time for any possible chance that there is a Page 1 "PowerBooks have finally arrived!" in the headlines. But alas, no such luck. It sucks, too, because after all these years, my dad keeps bringing up the subject of "So...have they updated that PowerBook you want yet? We need to go shopping for your new laptop soon" I keep telling him "Soon...maybe next week...soon..." But after 3 or so months of this, it's getting hard to make excuses to keep holding off the the new 15".

That's just mean :D Arn's not a meany...I think (looks all scared at arn)
I'm happy with this update, but that's only because I got my AE all installed and working the other day, so it's my new gadget (until I can afford an iPod, that's my uber gadget).

Try the Linksys WMP54G PCI card (http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=33&scid=36&prid=520) -- I've got one in my B&W frankenstein G4 -- it runs off Apple's Airport Extreme drivers, without any modifications.

thank god this is here. i live in an apartment building, and a few of my neighbors had 2.4GHz phones, and it would constantly interfere with my connection. i look forward to the newly found rock solid stability!
