Hi Shawn, I have some opinion-free questions, that you might have a better-educated guess at: The iPod/music idea - is that maybe a revamped price range deal? Do you know where there might be somewhat detailed info on the breakdown of sales, related to the three basic (12-15-17") Powerbooks, over the last year or so? Do you know of outstanding (policy, or external) obstacles that would prevent Apple from allowing third-party PPC support, after the end-of-transition? Did they allow that back in the Apple][ days after the move to to the Mac? any help, clues, etc, will be appreciated, thanks, brian s
