The trailing edge is where it's at.
Machines come and go so quickly that obsolescence can be merely a matter of weeks.
This is more true for the Wintel world, where reverse sticker shock leaps from Sunday circulars to boggle the mind. But with the first G3's now disappearing from the Apple Store, the six slot PowerMacs all but gone and the last of the clones doing a swan song, the trailing edge has never been sweeter. Especially if your needs run to T-Bone and your budget to tuna wiggle. Which is where we were at the end of May when my son suddenly found himself Macless with a fast approaching deadline. The 6100 had gone on to a new home and the PowerBase had simply gone blind.
