[Ham-Mac] MWSF Keynote

[John Rollins]

>The new mini iPods are teeny weenie (credit card size)!
Yeah. Cool looking, but too expensive. They should have gone for 
something smaller for less than the cost of the "competition" or 
tried to make the regular line smaller. I'm not going to pay $250 for 
a 4GB iPod when my 10GB 2nd gen is almost full. I'm more likely to 
wait until they come out with an 80GB model...

>Just noticed that the "1984" TV advert that they re-released to 
>celebrate the 20th anniversary of Macintosh has been touched up - 
>the girl running is now wearing an iPod!
Yeah, that was cool. I wonder if they used iMovie :P

>Glad to see that iPhoto 4 will be much faster and hold more photos.
>The only troubling thing with iLife 04 is the advertising slogan 
>"It's like MicroSoft Office for the rest of your Life" - sounds like 
>Hell to me! :-)
Yep. And they charge for everything now too, just like MS. There goes 
the neighborhood...
I want the new iPhoto, but I could care less about the rest of it. 
And I'm not paying $50 to fix iPhoto, no matter how cool it is.

In all, I was rather disappointed with the whole thing. I damn near 
fell asleep during the Office 2004 and GarageBand demos.
