what's the future of Powerbooks

Hi,
Am I being paranoid, or is Apple doing away with Powerbooks??? All I ever seem to see advertised are the iBooks. It makes me wonder if Apple is planning a slow demise of the Powerbook line??

Any thoughts or information???

Frank

The reason you see that is that recently they updated the iBook line... as soon as new PowerBooks are announced, the focus of the advertising will no doubt change.

pushing the iBooks maybe because its that back to school time of year and that is the target audience for them?

<shrug> Doubt it'll be anytime soon, but companies do change their products over time. But if they do away with the Powerbook, they'll have something better to take its place when they do.
