Not that you'd care, but I went to MacWorld last week.
There was some great stuff:
Which is the new mac mini which houses a pretty capable 1.2 GHz G4, 256MB RAM, a 40GB hard drive and CD-burner/DVD ROM drive for $499. Which is, like, incredible for Apple. I mean for all the times I've heard about how expensive Macs are. This is a pretty great little computer. (I mean unless you want to play games.) You would need to supply the monitor, keyboard, and mouse. But lookit how tiny it is! That's the CPU. Under my finger there. That's pretty neato, eh? You can pay more and really trick it out with a faster processor, Bluetooth and/or 802.11g, bigger drives and more memory, but then it starts getting expensive.
Also some less great stuff:
The iPod Shuffle. I think if Apple had pitched this as a USB flash drive that also plays MP3s, they'd really have something. But insisting that the lack of display is a "feature" isn't winning any points. Still 512MB for $99, and 1GB for $149 is the cheapest you're going to find an iPod. It is teeny tiny.
I got a processor upgrade for my aging G4 bringing it to 1.4GHz, and another for my old 7200 to make it a 400MHz G3. The G5 will have to wait a few months. I also picked up one of them video editing jog dials. Supersweet. To the ridiculously small contigent of Macheads on this board, I've got nothing but nice things to say about the friendly folks at Other World Computing.
Please now commence the mocking my computing-platform-of-choice/hairstyle.

Coop, and I watch that cartoon all the time. I want a giant robot car that chicks dig.
Anyway, the Mac Mini is definitely cool. I'm a bit concerned that it only has the two USB and one Firewire ports. I certainly wouldn't be able to hook up all my peripherals to it. Still, it's pretty neat and a space saver.
I don't like the iPod for the reason you said: no display. Plus, it's small enough that I know my cat would use it as a chew toy.

Did you Photoshop yourself into the second pic? That arm just does not look as though it could belong on your body.
...or you wear long sleeve shirts under short sleeve ones...(shudder)

Looks like someone read waay too many old Bloom County comics.

What's wrong with that? Brad Pitt does it, and you can't say he isn't hunky.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

By Florida law I must now say "It's goin' down!"
As to Brad Pitt: er......I guess I can say he's handsome in a deranged lunatic kinda way (much like how you'd never stop to pick up Vince Vaughn if he were hitching. Okay, you might).

Anyone who isn't insecure about his own hetrosexuality would say that Brad Pitt is obviously one of the sexiest men ever. Unless you are calling Edward Norton a big fat liar.
