You should be able to get the old models from your local Apple store at a discount and these should qualify while they last.
But I'd bet that the online store will stick them in the refurb section which would not qualify.
I guess if you think you want the cheaper ones, you better go to the Apple store within a day or two and get the discounted one.

I would be VERY surpirised at $200 off. The highest I can see is $100....MAYBE $125, but I highly doubt it.

Someone, translation please?
My powerbook is everything i could have every hoped for and more...and with the apple education i got 300 bucks off and a free ipod mini....its the greatest thing ever
This topic is basically becoming a line from "Spaceballs: The Movie." The scene I'm thinking of is when they're findind shelter and Lonestarr says, "One more dune to go." Then Barf says, "No, you said that three dunes ago." Replace "dunes" with "Tuesdays" and voila! BTW, I too am anxiously waiting the updates.
BTW, I too am anxiously waiting the updates.Gzus ppl, stop acting so grave-seriously. I'm getting tired of the f***ing waiting as well, and this current computer hums like a horny fighterplane or something...JonMaker said:
Oh yeah, I forgot I'm the only atheist here and am not supposed to make funny connections to Jesus about anything. Sorry!
I'm not even going to buy an iBook seeing as I already have the perfect machine for me but I am anxiously waiting for the updates too!
On the Canadian Apple homepage, the ibook use to read 5-7 business days, now it read 3-5. So, either, there is an update this tuesday or canada was once really low on stock and they seem to be getting more now.

Actually, the iBook is more like a new Ford than and old Honda -- unless you buy used. In fact, at the 12" size (which is directly comparable), the better car analogy is with the Ford Five Hundred and the Volvo S80; the Volvo is slightly smaller and fancier with a few more options, but they're both put out by the same manufacturer and yet are more different than nameplate engineering.
I wish that the new iBooks are able to support Core Image. That'd allow us to get that ripple effect in Dashboard! I know many people find that overrated, but i love it. I never get tired of tinkering with that ripple effect at the Apple Store. Way cool.

You mean you do it as a kind of game, or do you actually find it useful to constantly add and remove widgets from the dashboard?
Noticed it was down. Mentioned it in the other thread. Do you guys really think they'll update tomorrow? I'm not even in the market for a new iBook, but I'm excited. God I'm such a geek.
