I know what you mean! In Feb 2001 I ordered the top of the line G4, a single-CPU at 733 MHz, with 23-inch Cinema flat-panel. Not three or five months later, this was now the lowest-end Mac G4, and then the dual-CPU G4 and then G5 came out
I also bought two PB G4 500Mhz then, both top of the line. In no time flat later in 2001, the 667 and 833 (? number?) were out, and then all three were obsolete
The 23-inch Cinema display still looks good though, six years later
