I will be getting one sometime this year (I hope).

Im just kicking myself in the ass for selling my shares of Apple at 47$. Although I didnt have much choice :(

Guess they didnt realease their HDTV's. Guess we will have to wait till July for the next Apple Release date.

Maybe if it ran windows natively and not through an emmulator. Too many programs for PC I can't do without. Very pretty paperweight though.

It was on USAtoday.com today that they would be set up to run with a Windows OS and still have Apple's proprietary hardware, so as to preserve compatability with Windows-based stuff... They just won't come that way from Apple.

Damn... pwned... That changes everything, I may have to reconsider now.
I had one of the white ibooks (got it cheap) to give apple a try but grew so frustrated with it: No Mathematica, browser sucked (then), no P2P (then), no Dreamweaver, Anystream, Procoder, Squeeze... arghh. Gave it away to my sister and she in turn sold it on ebay.
But now... time to start saving my pennies.

That's a nice trick, since Apple didn't go public until December 1980. :mepoke:
