If you haven’t read this series of posts from a few weeks back, I’ve been itching to sell my Tablet PC and make the Switch to a Powerbook. I made myself wait until Apple came out with new, higher-resolution models — which was originally rumored to take place a month ago. Uncle Steve made me wait until last week, during which time I halfheartedly watched two dozen Powerbooks come and go on EBay, but after last Wednesday, I have no more excuses.

I took the plunge on Monday and surfed on over to the Apple Store. After a brief but violent disagreement with the Apple Credit application, which I lost (I couldn’t convince those automated anti-fraud questions that I did not know anyone named “Barbara Rd”), I dropped the order on my poor Amex card and eagerly awaited the email that said… my order should ship by the end of the week, and should be here by the end of next week.

Like Tom Petty said, when it comes to gear lust, the waiting is the hardest part.
