I'm not "thoroughly" excited - but as somebody that's been looking for a good, easy-to understand MP3 player for his mom it does look very interesting (if only it would play WMA). > The Mac mini has me wondering though.

That's kind of my thinking... it seems like $499 (minimum) is still pretty damn high. And the upgrades are unbelievable - doing the Gig of RAM adds $425 to the price! You can get a new Dell 4700 and a 15" LCD (and a keyboard and mouse) for $650. I was really hoping for a cheap Mac - not just a "cheaper" Mac. ;^) Jim Davis ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:142175 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
