This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

$500

Wow - that's actually semi-reasonable.
Of course that's for the 16GB model, I assume.
Kristen - Jan 27, 2010 9:20:35 am PST #12624 of 25505
It's for the 16 GB WiFi only version.
ETA: The 64 GB with 3G is $829.

$499 for 16GB, 32Gb for $599, 64GB for $699.

Yeah, 499 seems reasonable for a computer. I wonder if they let everyone run with 999 so we would all feel relieved.
