Re: G4 to G5 Trade-up Program In Oz?

[Dark Servant]

I wonder what Apple would actually do with all these old G4's.  I doubt 
they'd be sold 2nd hand and the parts probably wouldn't be all that 
useful.  Perhaps they'd be donated or something.  It would seem like a 
waste to just retrieve them and then throw them out.

'Here's a tip - don't expect new G5's before 3/26/2004. Apple Oz 
(Australia) have just introduced a trade up program - they give buyers 
A$1000.00 (appx. $775 US) tradein for a G4 (no specific model 
mentioned) on a new G5, The program starts today and ends 3/26/2004 so 
I'm guessing the new G5's are released 3/27/2004 or soon thereafter.'

I've not yet seen this trade-in/trade-up offer at Apple's USA website 
as of early Friday morning (Eastern Time). He later said that even B&W 
G3s are being taken in trade there but you get about 1/2 the trade-in 
value of a G4. I hope that offer is done for the USA (It's not April 
Fools day either, I know this person.)

Anyone here heard of this?
