Pretty doubtful that a major drop will occur on the Aluminum as they are 
still selling them.   However, the Ti is older technology and like all older 
technology its shelf value diminishes with each passing year.   If memory serves 
Apple stopped selling Ti three years ago.   But, and this is a big but, I have 
friends who love their Ti and wouldn't trade it in or sell it for the world.   
Talk has been that it will take a year or so to shake out the MacIntel and we 
are at the bleeding edge of that year.   It all boils down how many existing 
programs will run on the MacIntel platform so we can expect a phased launch of 
the system and new software.   Bottom line expect a drop in Ti prices would be 
a good guess.
