I'd agree with that. Not only would it not be guaranteed that the store employees could even describe what the difference is, imagine trying to order one online or out of a catalog. You'd cause more confusion and lose a sale. They'll have to keep the iBook slower than the TiPB for now.

You know. Hopefully, by the end of next year, they won't have a problem seperating the pro from the consumer lines. Hopefully the Pro's will be way out in front, and people will lust for the pros that cannot afford them.

I assume you're referring to the (hopeful) release of the G5.

If the G5 *were* to be released, you'd immediately have the distinction between pro and consumer models again. Having the G4 in consumer and pro computers cannot be good for apple.

Agreed. We will see a G5 next year, and it will again seperate the pro/consumer lines. I just hope it is 1st quarter 2003.
