    I’ll wait a bit longer for Snow Leopard before i part with my cash.

    Just ordered the new 20″ with 4GB, wireless keyboard and mouse tonight. Been waiting for awhile for the new ones since my old Power Mac G5 got tired / retired. So I’m excited. Hope it works out!! Also added the new Airport Extreme Base station so I can talk to my 15″ Mac Pro. Well doing my part for the economy if nothing else. Ha It’ll be great.
