And I just downloaded iTunes 5 a few weeks ago... such is life on dialup.

So, I guess that means no 40/80 GB iPods.

Excellent question for the first post!

It certainly looks like Apple is taking a nice, measured pace towards entering the living room. I think it's a good strategy. I just wish I could afford an iMac (not that they're too expensive, I'm just poor).
