    Sounds great, yet another temptation by the devil to bring me towards macs... I am still wanting the day for OSX on my x86 hardware though (not emulated, thanks thought PPC). Now, how about a patch to bring down the price? :)

      Yeah, I want a $15,000 NSX too, but in the meantime, why not settle for a Civic (e.g. a $549 eMac).
