I may just do that... man after all that waiting I thought I had come to a decision!!!
I have been waiting for awhile for a mac.
(Actually bought one before moving to Europe, but gave it back before the move) Its been almost 2 years. ;-)
I know, different strokes for different folks...depends on your 'needs'.
But for me, I have been waiting for:
- Complete transition to Intel machines
- leopard
I do not want a machine before Leopard...as I want the 'optimized' one.
I do not want leopard when it first comes out. (remember one of the OS Xs a few years back, that I wish I had waited.)
Again, this is not the 'best stragegy' now for me...it is...at this time.
In fact, I may even delay it till late next year. I have to admit, my powerbook is growing rather old, and this year I am noticing its lack of 'power' as basic things require faster CPU and more memory. (of course Im with the memory that came with the powerbook, and we know not long ago...it was not much...256k)
Now some may laugh, as this is in the Final Cut forum.
I came from a company where I set them up with editing systems, and spent quite a bit of money. Im in the 'independent' / 'sabbatical' stage now.
So, as mentioned, if you have the money to upgrade every year or so...it doesnt really matter... ;-)
But, I would thought that most people, if they could have, would have waited on purchasing until the release of Leopard with upgraded machines.
Again, thats just my way of looking at it.
Enjoy what you have.
Peace
