To be quite blunt, yesterdays announcements sucked.  Who didn't know 
they'd most likely announce iLife '09 and iWork '09?  And wow, they 
finally finished the 17" Mac Book Pro.  The only thing remotely 
interesting was the iTunes music announcement.

While I would have liked to see a Mac Mini announcement, I was really 
*hoping* for a Nehalem based Xeon Mac Pro announcement, but honestly 
didn't expect to see one yet.  My aging G5 2x2 needs replaced, but I 
don't want to buy a new Mac Pro until the Nehalem based ones are 
released.  I wonder if we'll have to wait for the Developers 
Conference for an announcement on them.  It's now been a year since 
the last update of the Mac Pro.
