I wonder if todays event has a slim possibilty of a 'One more thing' at the end?
What is this event all about?
Is it just:
- a preview of the OS4 (or will it be released?)
- about the introduction of the 'iAd'-Thing
If it's just about these two things, the I wonder if there will be 'space for a surprise'!?![]()
Boy, I really doubt it. Though it would be a good way to divert attention from the iPad Wifi and charging issues. One can only hope.

On the other hand, even if the machines are ready, there really is no reason for Apple to stop stringing us along and driving us crazy while they wait for people to cave and buy as much of the existing C2D MBP stock as possible.![]()
there is no C2D stock![]()
Where is there no C2D stock..
it still says 24hours on the page I'm looking at..
Hmmm....so there is to be helt a Keynote today, huh? I smell MBP-revelation, but I'm a noob to both Mac and interpret Apple.
As much as I can't wait to get my hands on an updated MacBook Pro for the performance gains, I've gone back and forth regarding getting a Win7 laptop RIGHT NOW!!#!#!#!#111No joy then. Pretty pissed off now. That's two biggish events and still no MacBook Pros. Almost on the verge of just getting a Vaio Z out of sheer frustration.

I'm kind of in the same boat. My only problem is, I would really like a 13" MBP, but I am not satisfied AT ALL with the specs of the current ones, and the only machine with specs that I really do like is the 15"MBP with discrete graphics, but that machine is a lot more money than I want to spend.
I've actually started to consider other options. That's how badly I need a new machine soon, as I have work I need to do and my current crippled machine can't cut it.
Let's go camp out at Apple headquarters! "Hell no we won't go! Until we get new Macbook Pros!"
2:10 MTN time and the Apple Store is up and running... Never noticed that it went down, but it could have for a short period - don't notice anything new though. I highly doubt new MBP's would be released today... maybe next Tuesday, but the OS4.0 preview event wouldn't be related to some kind of hardware update.
That is the exactly where I am at. Also, since I own a high end DJ service, my mac is on display to about 25,000 people per year (on average). I need a shiny new mac to keep up appearances!
(However, I can't even imagine going PC... even though PCDJ only operates for PC, a comparable DJ program for mac would be nice. The stuff that's forced on me now is great in some areas but lacks in others.)

In the end, it's just not worth it. I must remain patient, I survived through the 90s using MacsA couple months longer isn't too bad.
I have been visiting this forum for a few months now. I first became interested in the MBP after using my Brother's two year old MB a few times
I have really wanted to purchase a 15" MBP, but felt I should wait for the new upgrade. So, I have been waiting since the holidays.
I am going to be able to get a laptop from my employer to use at work & home. I really wanted to get a MBP and run Boot Camp (dual, using Windows 7 during the day and Mac OS at home), but our IT guy is fighting me, and another co-worker every step of the way. His comments are that Apple is too proprietary, sighting lack of Flash support, and too late to come to market with new processors, and of course too expensive in and Apples to Apples comparison with PC laptops. No pun intended.
We are likely buying by the end of April. So, my only hope for a switch is if Apple finally comes thru this month.
