"Mac Mini and iPod Shuffle...."

Head on over to apple.com (fairly slow at the moment) to see the new Mac and iPod combo. 2005 sees Apple retailing it's products with no screen. Yep, both the iPod shuffle and Mac Mini come with no screen (and in the Mac Mini's case, no keyboard and mouse also). Of course, you'll need to buy a screen, mouse and keyboard, but a £399 Mac? Yes please.

iPod shuffle is... different, it's really REALLY small, and comes in two sizes (both less than £100), the larger being 1GB (240 songs). It looks cool, and will allow many more people to hop on the iPod bandwagon.

"Think Different" definitely plays a key role here, then.

I should be so lucky! Steam won't connect over the Uni network service, so when I want to play HL2, I have to use Bluetooth to setup Dial-Up Networking via my mobile phone, login to Steam via that, then open HL2!!!

Uh... wrong.

I use my GC for gathering dust too, saves me having to clean everything else.

Every home should have one!

lmao read the bottom of the ipod shuffle page...made me laugh anyway :D :

Music capacity is based on 4 minutes per song and 128Kbps AAC encoding.
Do not eat iPod shuffle.
Rechargeable batteries have a limited number of charge cycles and may eventually need to be replaced. Battery life and number of charge cycles vary by use and settings. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information.
Some computers require either the optional iPod shuffle Dock or a USB cable extender (sold separately).

Well, having just spent the last 7 minutes waiting for Steam to load so I could play HL2, be happy you're missing out on that.

Someone buy my laptop, then I can buy the new PC and have lots of fun!

I had a GC, but the only thing I used it for was gathering dust.

You're missing out on HL2 :' {

Yeah, that is a downer, but there again, I don't use my PC for gaming, thats what my GC is for.

And I use linux...

No games though :' {
