Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Someone tell me I don't need to drive to the Apple Store in Glendale right now to buy a new Mac Mini.

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

You don't. Because you already have one.

Also, I'm not buying one, and it wouldn't be fair if you did, right?

You don't need to drive anywhere -- you can just order one online.

If I drive I can have it NOWNOWNOWNOW, don't you people understand.

You don't. Because you already have one.

Well, there is that, but this new one has front row. I wonder how much I could get for my old one on ebay.

I'm just saying, you don't need to drive to the Apple Store in Glendale. Isn't that what you asked to hear?

Shiny shiny Mini. Do you need a second one?

(Waitaminute, why am *I*, of all people, asking that? Go! Go to Glendale right now!)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The only thing that's preventing me from buying it is that it can't drive two displays. I can hook it up to a TV, or put it on my desktop, but not both.

Have you seen this? [link]

One of the things that dissatisfied me most about using a mini day in and day out was the inability to drive dual monitors. Up until extremely recently, there was simply no way to achieve a very wide display. But then my own personal Christmas came, and I discovered the Matrox dualHead2Go. Many many posts and reviews have discussed this device since it came out. But what is it?

Simply put, this box acts as a splitter for a VGA signal. It effectively takes one VGA input, and splits each horizontal line in half, and feeds one half to one VGA output, and the other half to the (you guessed it) other VGA output. Unfortunately, according to Matrox, it's only supported under Windows. Well, I'm happy to say that this jigger works great under OSX too.

iPod Hi-Fi

I'm not loving it. I prefer the look of the Bose. Though the Bose is really not very portable.
