<<They stopped BTO'ing the PBG3s over a month ago, indicating the factories were being retooled for the new line, but no hints as to when the new line would be out.>>
Dragonfly, your post reminds me of the PB shortages last May which lasted through the summer. And it also reminds me of the brilliant job Apple did meeting G3 pro demand in the January-March quarter. I mean, right from intro they had loads of machines ready. I think the same thing is happening with the PBs and it will be upon us soon. Think record-setting day at the Apple Store, yet with customers getting their machines in under a week this time.
Soup, very interesting take on all the Avid stuff. Yes, growing the video market and having a big chunk of software sales is better than having Avid continue a Mac version, most likely. I go back to Apple's contention that only 1% of users needed six slots. That was only 25,000 boxes a year--not all that important to Apple's future success, IMO. Although yes, it's a bad precedent and we don't really want to lose the Doren's of the world. Hmmm.
