The new PowerBooks should drop everything down in price. I got very lucky and sold my 1.0 GHz 12" (Combo Drive, AE and 80GB HD) the day before the new ones were announced and got $1000 for it, only $400 less than I paid for it a year ago (student pricing), and 2/3 the cost of the 12" SuperDrive model I'm typing this on now. Actually I sold my Pismo the day after which made up the rest of the shortage, so I got the new PB without spending any money at all, though going from two books to one. Guess I'll get another Lombard or Pismo in a few months to get back p to parity, though the Kanga isn't bad for now in the backup role.
