I'm waiting for Apple to get rid of CRT completely and focus on enhancing their Studio Displays. I'm also holding my breathe for Apple Plasma Displays *Wink, wink*

Agreed. I think they should release a 17" display running at 1280x1024, that would be cool :)

You don't need a screen to know what song is playing.  Presumably you have ears?  Listen to the music.  Your brain makes a connection and you know what song is playing from the lyrics, the instruments, the tune, etc, etc.  No screen needed.

Anyway, for ?69 (UK price for the smaller capacity one) you can't really complain about the lack of a screen.

Yes I do... I can't recognize a song after listening for the first 2 seconds, I have to listen to it... and that takes time.. If I see it on a screen it's much easier and faster.

I have an RCA player now + 1 Gig SD card and it cost me approx 150$. But:

1. I have a choice of online muic stores

2. I have a screen

3. I can upgrade capacity with other SD cards

4. I'm not paying for Apple brand;))

Obviously the iPod flash is geared towards the very low end market. You pay for less, but you get a little less. Everyone's jumping up and down over the lack of screen but that's because Apple's doing something that hasn't been thought of before. Innovation always raises some red flags at first, give this some time and then we'll see whether or not it works.

And unless you compress to radio quality you're not getting 1000 songs on that thing.

Why do they have iMovie and FCE with HD?? As far as I know, there are no HD DVD players or drives in existance yet. How can anyone produce a HD -DVD with a Mac when there are no HD DVD drives or players?

      Nvidia is your issue more so than linux itself. I did used it for a while with an old 1060 3gb, but using propietary drivers was kind of messy.

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
