Update, but not mine

Hi folks!

I know, I know - owe you something. Party pics, and the complete saturday story, which will be long. We've made a 13 hour long tour through Mexico which was just as good as it could be... hopefully I will have some time to post it with some nice pictures (I took about 500). But the update that the title of this post is talking about...
NEW POWERBOOKS! Yes! Today it finally happened, the PBs got an update. Nothing extraordinary, but very nice. The new touchpad allows scrolling with two fingers on the pad, the drive grew from 60-80 to 80 standard up to 100GB, the keyboard backlight got improved, it has bluetooth2, and so on and so on... just look yourself at apple.com/powerbook.

But the ultrasupermegabest news: In the USA Apple Store for Students, my DESIRE aka PowerBook 15,2" Display, 1,67MHz Processor, 128MB Graphics, 8x DVD Burner only costs 1,747.28 EUR. You realize something: That is far under the sisterly advised "stay under 2000 EUR to convince your daddy". And in fact, in Germany the ultimate cheapest price for that machine is 2.173 EUR, that makes a fair difference (in case you don't have a calculator or a working brain at hand of 425,72 EUR!!! Even when I want to equip the machine with a german keyboard later on which costs about 100EUR, savings are still great.
And best: I got a bunch of my colleagues from WHU who are just up there in the states... we should be able to figure something out there, hm? DAD? :-)

So long
