Powerbook G5s?, Heh, remember the Powerbook. Options

What happened to the PowerBook G5 rumors. I think there is hope for one or will it have to wait for the developer's conference. The Powerbook is looking around and saying, "what about me!"

I have had 3 G5's and 6 repairs since Aug.
I literally hate my G5 2x2. It has been nothing but trouble. I have lost clients due to the outages. Apple has sent repair people to my house to fix it, and they have broke them worse. EX. yesterday a gent comes to my house to fix a processor whine when in column view. Apple sent him one processor. uh excuse me. i have a dual cpu setup. I have to have matching cpu's. well the guy installs it anyway without knowing if the cpu is a match to the computer other processor. well i think we know what the problem outcome is. It blew the other processor and logic board. hmm. G5's hmm.. bogus excuse for a computer.

i have had my powerbook for two years. no problem. I am back to using my powerbook to work on music and video deadlines. takes twice + as long, but it is working. I have requested a fully loaded 15" powerbook that will connect to my cinema screen for replacement. I do not want a G5. I am doubtfull of there reliability. As I should be.

They want to try and fix it again. So my gripe is this. Why should i pay for 2500 USD for a computer that they are selling for 2000 USD on there refurbished site. I mean this problem has been here since I got the computer. Twice repaired, and broke once by there own "CERTIFIED GENIUS." come on give me a break.

A G5 powerbook sound rediculous to me. if they can't build a tower that works-why bother with a notebook where the parts have to be crammed together?

err. i am so pissed.

sorry for the rant. *editbrain*
