Indeed.
Didn't say it was.
I guess that's why it has caught on so well.
Not to mention slower.
If you like the Profile 4 so well why don't you give me a call here at work and I'll get one of them on order for ya.
Got a tip for us?

Nope. That is why big ATX style cases caught on. Mac just tried to make them nicer. And did. Not different (PowerMac), just nicer. Been riding same design for years now (B&W G3)
Truth. Not that big of a deal anymore. Ask all of the PB users out there. That is what a true multi-tasking OS is for...

Apple is dead in the water. Things are not horrible for 2 reasons.
1) OS X
2) iPod
Things are so bad that they decided to do a "Windows version" of the iPod.
And now, they can't supply the 5gb version for approx 2 months, due to "holiday" demand. Which holiday is it now, Valentine's day?
Personally, I don't see apple selling widoze versions of the iPod as a sign of things getting bad...
I wouldn't mind marketing my badass product to 90% of personal computer owners and using such a great product as another switch gimmick that only people on the "lighter side" can use...
Go Apple, i say... Show those windows users how innovative Apple really is! Just go ahead and get those iPods coming so that the lack of the 5gb ones can be justified within my own mind!

one problem with that though... if the iPod has alot of failures (which is seems to have) then that will turn off a lot of PC types. the entire battery situation...? that and no 'upgrade' since july 2002 for the iPod... an eternity in the tech market.
people have been waiting for the new ones so long, the sales must be dwindling a bit... IMO.
we shall see. we shall see.

I don't think there are a lot of failures. Just a lot of vocal people with problems and very few vocal people with no problems. This is the norm for any sort of product. The only people who are heard are the very few with problems and no one knows the true numbers of people without any problems because they have no reason to make themselves known.
-Try this:
Dyed-in-the-wool PC users, simply unaware of the bliss that is Mac are used to a high level of faliures.
We're spoiled.
Of my friends who fit this PC user description, they think it's [the iPod] the best thing since canned meatloaf. And, as a result, they've begun to switch.
Really.

higher level of failure is acceptable at bargain basement pricing.
level of failures for the iPod is unacceptable. how many people have had more than 1 replacement, just in this forum?
And the funny thing is, it is not the hdd that fails. That is the part I would think would be most vulnerable.

I've not had a failure and out of the 4 or 5 people I know that have them none othem have had a failure either. Some of these iPods are the originals bought just a couple months after they were released.
I still say the only people you hear about are those that squeak and those that squeak are the ones with problems. This leads you to a false since of problems due to the disproportionately large number of the complainers as compaired to the very few that ever say they haven't had a problem.
-Too true.
My automechanic has a different bent: "I never see the cars that aren't broken. That dosen't mean that the whole line of those I do see are lemons."
Oh, so true. I am a BMW Motorcycle Tech/Service Manager. I am constantly dealing with people that think just because they or there friends have had such and such a problem that obviously there is a flaw with all of them and BMW should do something about it. Meaning they want a recall. Just to let you know BMW takes care of the individual problems and BMWs warranty service is second to none depending on how the customer treats their dealer.
Back to performance...
Don't forget that old Windows problem known as "Operating System Slowdown". It's a real big performance problem that becomes noticeable three or four months into your new machine.
No matter how fast that Windows beast is suposed to be, once the registry gets REALLY big, everything starts to go REALLY slow. I guess that's another reason why the term "Nuke and Pave" is used so often among PC users.
My Macs just keep humming along
