  I'm a Mac owner (with around $6000 invested in my machine), but the
concept of Apple bringing out a new line of computers doesn't worry me
- in fact, it pleases me.
  There will always be a point when trying to add on the latest
innovations to an aging architecture just won't work...  you have to
make a clean break and start afresh.  When Apple brings out their
"Granny Smith", with multiprocessor/voice recognition/pen operated...
I'll be glad to switch.
  The market for my old Mac will still exist for at least a couple of
years.  I can sell it second-hand, and buy into the new machine
market.  The trick is not to wait too long with your old machine,
before getting the new machine...
