Cue updated version of product at MacWorld?
“Cue updated version of product at MacWorld?”
Exactly what I wasa thinking.
I was thinking that the timing for this promotion is brilliant. The first week after the close of the Holiday Season. Can you imagine all the Moms and Dads with new video cameras and lots of raw footage that there must be right now? I can see tens of thousands of light bulbs lighting up above the heads of those new camera owners (even old camera owners), thinking, “Yeah! This year I’m going to make a movie.” What a great excuse to finally pop for that new Mac I wanted anyway.
Mar 27th is a Tuesday. Something new coming that day.
Was going to say Leopard, but I think OS X versions usually debut on Fridays.
I agree, apple is clearing inventories for new products.
Maybe the new versions of FCE & FCP on that day.
MW: not. So? They wont, right? Hey, it’s a Magic Word…
