I don't think Apple are ever going to bring back the MacBook Pro 17" unfortunately. A huge amount of people have sent feedback to Apple (myself included of course) that we really need a 17" MacBook Pro for work/professional users. But I don't think Apple will change their mind, once they decide to discontinue either hardware or software... They never bring it back!!
I still live in hope, but I'm thinking this is 'false Hope' though :-(( And Daniel keeps telling me, and reminded me when we spoke today...

After taking almost 6 hours to download on my slow ADSL connection 558.0 KB/s! (since the Fibre cable was laid in our street & must have done some damage to the old 'rotten' Telstra copper wiring)... Mavericks is running fine.
