Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I love my new Bluetooth Apple keyboard and mouse. I think wireless is the way to go for a living room computer.

Part of the appeal of this new comptuer is that it comes in a box smaller than an iPod box. (Kinda hard to stuff a keyboard and mouse in there....) Anyway, I bet there are shipping and warehousing cost savings for such a small box.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I just ran the configuration on one the way I'd like it and it still only hits $877.

I can live without the superdrive (we have 3 or maybe 4 DVD-RW drives in the house as it is), and leave some room in the budget for more RAM from somewhere. Bluetooth + Wireless is essential, and yummy.

(Not pulling card out of wallet. Really not. Too many computers already, dammit.)

Our wings are not tired

Yes, but this won't be a computer for me REALLY, more of a central home entertainment device.

Yeah. That's it.

I can justify this.

Believe me, I understand. I'm playing a little game of what goes on the mini and what goes on the home media server of DOOOMMM as we speak. It passes the time.

Hey. New board.

I want this footprint to be more expandable. Exactly the same box with a 200 GB hard drive would be awesome, especially bundled with that awesome HDTV PVR breakout box for Macs I saw the other day. DVI that out into a large HDTV and bam!

t /dreams

As it is, still awesome. Don't need, but awesome.

Also, want iWork.

I can't get to the Apple store (gee, go figure). Does Apple still make the regular Airport cards? or do they only make the extreme one? Can an extreme card be used in a Mac that was only designed to use the regular one?

No. Yes. No.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Dotster is giving out free .info domains, if anyone cares.

Oooh. The new mini computer is so CUTE!!! I want. I have zero need, but I want!!

Do you think people will really like the shuffle? Don't most (even tiny) mp3 players have a display??

This is a bit harsh, but I'm laughing anyway.

I like the quote by the "ethnic-looking clipart model."

ION (that probably no one cares about) I just bought a new cable modem (as my old one was getting flakey). Installing the new one and registering it at Comcast was a painless process. Go Comcast!
