The Apple Phobia
No, not the fear of Apple Computers, the fear
that Steve is going to announce new ones
Any Apple customer knows the fear. You check the
dates of Steve Job's upcoming appearances, you time things around MacWorld or
WWDC. Not because you can't wait to hear what new thing is coming out. Because
you are petrified about buying a mac or ipod the day before they slash the
prices and make the computer you haven't even received yet a dinosaur. I'm
facing that fear right now as I ponder if I want to replace my powerbook before
the intel switch.
Everyone knows that
the channel is starting to fill with inventory and people are sitting on the
fence waiting for those first intel-based macs to be announced. Everyone knows
that they'll be slashing the prices to clear out inventory and that they may
announce one more power book revision before the big switch. So you wait. And
Wait. Steve doesn't have another keynote for a while, right? They never announce
hardware at Siggraph, right? Maybe now is the time to buy... Or maybe not. Maybe
I'll wait just a bit longer...
Welcome
to the fear, my friend.
