Yes, that was when Steve was out due to his pancreatic cancer at the time.
I wonder if Apple will announce any type of Leopard promo with the release of new iMacs next Tuesday. On the one hand, the timing is good for this release such that it will target the back to school market, yet I feel that many would-be purchasers might be hesitant and consider holding off buying a new iMac since they know Leopard is only a couple months away. As a result, I wonder if Apple will provide Leopard discounts to anyone buying one of these new iMacs... hmm...![]()
Maybe they're going to pull an iPhone and "introduce" the product on Tuesday, but not ship/release it until October. Allows for hype to build around the product, stock share price grows as the shipping date gets closer instead of a one-day increase, and gets Apple on the news again.
My vote is for multiple product introductions on Tuesday with the smaller/less significant items shipping the same day and the others not shipping until October (coinciding w/ Leopard and MacWorld Expo, maybe?)
