Oh Apple, Why Do You Taunt Me

As you may know, Apple is running a back-to-school sale where you get a free iPod or iPod Touch when you buy a new Mac. I was intrigued when I heard about it and then I was excited as my PowerBook G4 was starting to succumb to the dreaded 'Orange Ribbon Cable' disorder more and more frequently.

So after a quick look at the back account I decide, the time is right. As a point of reference, my last Apple purchase was new albeit close-out/ fire sale iMac rev.b - $999 at CompUSA.

The sale runs thru the 16th and now I hear Apple has an 'event' planned on the 9th:

So now what?! Guess I go back to the wait and see mode, for the next few days anyway.
