There's ALWAYS a hotter machine next year/week/month/nanosecond....
I was at Apple Training for WebObjects in 1998, the teacher asked us how many of us were waiting for a new generation of macs before we bought a new machine... most of said we were waiting...
He told us the story of the Osborne One and Osborne Two...
The Osborne One was a 1980's "portable" computer with a tiny screen and two big floppy drives, Mr Osborne was showing it at trade shows, people said the screen was too small, he said "Yes, just wait for the Osborne Two, it will have a bigger screen and slimmer floppy drives!" .... so everyone waited to buy an Osborne Two and very few Osborne One's were sold, causing the company to go out of business before the Osborne Two could be made....
