[Ti] OT: Happy 1 Ghz Powerbook users!

[Dave Friesen]

No one whines when Dells comes out with a new model because no one cares... ;-)
 
>I have the same sentiments.  I am a switcher from Unix < 14 days.  I

>Yes I am happy with my Tibook, it is beautiful, but given the choice,
>and the timing, 500$ for a bigger display and advanced ports (USB2 and
>Firewire), it is a no brainer.  I am 6ft and 1.5lbs makes no difference
>to me on the plan.  It was not the Titanium that I bought it was the
>hardware, the shell quite frankly does not sell it for me, but the OS
>did.

>As a long time Unix and PC user, the discovery/release dates are not
>nearly as closely guarded.  I merely voiced my disappointment, I did not
>saturate the list, curse, or moan, just said I was disappointed which is
>not unreasonable.

>To tell people to get over it or stop whining is a bit harsh and I think
>undeserved.  Had you spent a better part of 3000K (which unfortunately I
>am not equipped to do again for some time) less than 2 weeks ago you
>might have felt the same.  It is just a bitter pill to swallow.  I am
>smarter and better for the experience.
