I use the Apple brand in-ear earbuds (the ones that have the soft round rubber things on the end in 3 interchangeable sizes). I think they were around $30. The sound quality is fine - I mostly listen to podcasts, so I'm pickier about the comfort than about the audio, and these are the only headphones I've ever liked. They stay in my ears and don't chafe like regular earbuds do.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't deal with the headband. They bug me like hats do. And I don't wear hats, either. t /off-topic

including one brand I want to buy just because they're called Skull Candy.
It should surprise no one that I have Skull Candy earbuds. Yes, in pink. [link]
I'm quite pleased with them. The sound quality is very good, and they're comfortable.

It's tax refund season, and I'm thinking it would be lovely to have a laptop that will play DVDs. I don't want a screaming machine that I can launch the space shuttle with, I just want a machine with enough oomph to play Stargate Atlantis while perched on a stool next to the bathtub, probably plugged into the wall socket. What kind of performance baselines am I looking at for this?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What does single link mean here? Is this a cable I could use to connect my Mini/Powerbook to my HD TV?

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Is this a cable I could use to connect my Mini/Powerbook to my HD TV?
Yes, I use a similar cable to connect my Mini to my TV. You'll need a separate audio cable though, as the DVI only carries video.

Cool. Thanks. I'm suspicious of something that cheap, but happy.
Other things I'll need-wireless keyboard and mouse. What reccomendations do you guys have? Go Apple? Microsoft?
I'm trying to decide if a mouse is even a good idea--but if I were to go trackpad, it'd need to be one like on the powerbook with the two-finger scroll. I think I've given up on the trackball. The only other solution that doesn't require a flat smooth surface is an airmouse, pretty much, and I haven't heard good things about those.

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