The new iPhoto looks good too! I love iPhoto. I have yet to find another program as fast as it for photo albums. I can load 3 gigs of photos in seconds.


OOOOOHHHH!!! They released new iPhoto Books too!! Yes!

No LCD on the iPod Shuffle? How does that work? I don't like to listen to my music at random.

Another question, are there any comparable flash MP3 players on the market to this thing??

It took them long enough. I hate Apple. But I've wanted to learn Mac OS/Unix for a while now. Even when checking out open box iMacs during clearance sales, they ran for $800+. I am not paying $800 for an outdated Mac just to learn an OS.

But $500 for a new machine with a great small form factor that I can hook up to a KVM? I am all over that.
