I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

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

Shure makes excellent earphones, but they can get expensive fast. Here is one example of their, it's the SE110 [link]

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.

Wiimote.

Not having a Wii, and wanting the possibility of typing a fair amount of text, I don't think that's my solution.
