I'd be happy for you, except my iPod earbuds just crapped out on me. When I wanted to use my Shuffle the most >_< *just started working 10 hours a day*

Yeah, mine comes in a week today (bastards).

I can't say I've been too impressed with Apple's earbuds. The included ones are well, cheap earbuds (the same can be said about included headphones wiht just about any music player) and the in ear ones don't stay in your ear. Whatever though.

And I don't know about the mighty mouse. My friend's got one, but I don't like how you can't left and right click at the same time. The wheel/ball thing is nice though.

As for the iMac G5 - well, next week Very Happy

Buy the 7800, get an mb + cpu and the rest of the components, and have a pc that will burn the mac you're getting into the dust. Smile

its quite simple Martin -- you've already ordered your Mac Wink

though that shouldn't stop you from getting the 7800 GTX anyways, and shipping it over here as a "gift" Laughing

Buy the card and you can do the same old stuff a wee bit faster.

Buy the Mac and you can do new stuff.

Hah, the Mac is pretty. I think I'm still going to get it. I might buy the 7800 too though. Too bad you can't upgrade the video on the iMac.

Oh, I'm sure you can. It's just more of a challenge. Smile

Hah, yeah.

The other thing that seems strange about the iMac is its lack of a dvi slot for a second monitor...

Yes, but at least there's VGA-out.

Hey, I didn't know it had that. Where is it?

It's the wee little port on the far side next to the ethernet jack. It's a mini VGA-out port. Does VGA, as well as S-video and composite video output. All with an adapter, of course.
