How many people said Apple would be stupid not to build a netbook?


You going down this path again? :) Apple did ship a netbook - it's called an iPad. :)

They'd have to encode all of the video in a completely different format to support those devices if that were true
That's not true. It's just a player interface to the same bits, as long as you encode everything in h264!

3. A $200 VCR Hahahahahah
8. A VCR casette rewinder

There are still a lot of underground movies that haven't been digitized. Fans of "psycotronia", cheapo monster, robot, outer space, slashers and general kitsch movies etc still roam garage sales for 50
¢ VCR movies.

In fact there are still people who groove on 8 and 16 mm movies. Mostly warning movies for high schoolers etc. You know like the anti-LSD movies that were so hilarious that they encouraged many kids to try LSD?



4. A 10 pack of Zip disks
5. A serial cable

I have a Kurzweil 2600 synthesizer. Most of the keyboardists in the huge rock bands have one for good reason, they sound good.

They connect to Zip drives via serial cables. Every time I see a Zip at a garage sale I buy it.


In fact I also have an RCA 45rpm record player. Its a beauty. Flame mahogany doors. The multi-disk changer is metal flake gold plastic that elegantly slides out. It has a single 12" speaker and came with box sets of ruby red clear vinyl 45rpm records. Just as Beta lost to VCR the RCA 45 format lost to LPs. The players I mean.

On another note I finally made the switch from MobileMe to iCloud.

The only thing that got trashed were some of the website favicons which a reset of Safari and a visit to all of my bookmarks resolved.

I'd call it a fairly smooth transition as it only took 2 days to cover every bookmark.

Yes, I should have typed a prior warning. Surprised Gizmoto editors didn't clean it up.
Thought for a moment that the author was LL's brother :-)
