When should I buy?

Hello everyone,

I'm considering purchasing a 12" iBook from Apple before I head of to university in September.
I was wondering, does anyone have ideas on the best time to buy it? I don't want to go out an purchase an iBook one day ... just to have Apple roll out a new iBook or introduce a summer back to school sale a week later. Does Apple usually hold some sort of sale or something every summer? So what would be the best time to purchase my iBook? Can anyone help me on this one?

Thanks,
-Quack Blah

...the iMac G5 *IS* coming to Macworld Paris. Apple even said it.

The eMac will get an update in early 2005, I predict...
