    lol, no matter how bad to the bone you think your MacBook/Macbook Pro is right now... it's going to be worth $125 eventually...

    lol, light speed was 667MHz once...

    The G4 Cube was pretty pathetic. I guess it evolved into the Mini, still sad in my opinion.

    And I've always thought Apple's mice are pretty bad too, but the Hockey Puck design was by far the worst.

    Not entirely true. The G4 Cube had a killer advantage - no fan. Desktop power and hardly any noise. It also had a fatal flaw, an obscenely expensive case design which made the price stupid high, especially since the CPU and video card could not be upgraded easily, if at all.

    It did however help usher in the era of quieter desktop computing.
    Puck = Worst. Mouse. Ever.

    And sticking to the one button mouse has also been kind of stupid. I've always used 3-button mice and could not imagine using their pathetic single button mice.

    Very kewl link. I didnt know that wireless has been around for so long. I remember the first time I heard "Wifi", we were at the beach, and a restaraunt displayed a sign that advertised free wifi. My cousin, who had a white Ibook then knew what it was, but my father and I had no clue. My dad thought it was "wif-ee" which is water they use in the medical industry that has been sterilized, like RO water. So he laughed when he saw the sign.

    Thanks for sharing that site.
