I lol at him and said oh well I just wanted that one because I heard things about it and was curious

With how Apple does things I would definitely expect the iPad 3, either around Xmas or this time next year. When I bought my 1st gen one I knew the 2 would be out by now, but if I waited, I would have had an empty hand for a year.

It would be nice if Apple had a trade up program for existing customers.

I though about getting the 27", but it wouldn't have fit on my desk with my other three monitors. It really is a beast.

A good thing Apple doesn't have a trade up program!! We'd be in and out of the place every 3 months!

Yeah, I thought about going the refurbished way, too. They have a little bit of everything:

and you get the same warranty as if you bought it new, but you save a couple hundred dollars.

Refurbished computers are just fine, in fact, I haven't bought a new computer in ages, except my laptop, that was ordered new, but the last couple of desktops I had were second hand. I got my current desktop off Craigslist (it's an Optiplex, though and I felt more confident I could swap parts or troubleshoot). Not sure I'd able to troubleshoot anything on a Mac, though.
