I'm a college student... all money goes towards tacos and stuff... I can definitely afford $40, but not a few thousand to make a professional CD (I've always burned my own and stamped my own artwork onto it).... I come from a house of musicians, my father is a professional musician, so I had access to a professional studio to record... plus, I'm a singer/songwriter (read: solo act), so I don't have a "set band" (outside of my recordings, like Sarah McLachlan or Tori Amos) that is going to all pitch in for an album...
A digital-only distribution would be perfect for someone like me. If iTMS and others thought I sucked, they wouldn't have to accept me.
I'm a musician, and I've been waiting for something like this to come out. I just called CD Baby and they said that I couldn't JUST spend the $40 and sell digitally, I still had to have a CD printed up and ready to sell physically on their website... which I don't have $3,000 for...
I'm still waiting for a totally digital distributor, since I think that will be the next big thing..
It's like watching computer attacks as a live sport.
As the geeks slowly take over the earth, and the collective physical fitness of the human race goes down.. we'll be seeing this at the Olympics one day.
Hey, you don't need AOL's 1,000 free hours. I pay $35,000 a year for HIGH SPEED internet in my dorm room... then I get an education for free! What a deal!
I've got my iPod in a leopard pattern case that I picked up from XtremeMac at MacWorld SF in January. It's not pink, but it was cute and girly enough for me to favor over the plain black ones. I'm pretty sure they've also got a light purple and a demin case...
I must assume that the demand is high for the G4s... And, I know a lot of people with pre-iMac/G4 boxes who are very happy running whatever they want.
I don't think the prices are bloated. Can you put a price on love?...;)
And, come on... OS X is far from finished. They were just getting it out there to jumpstart the software developers into making X-compatible software. It's basically like a Public Beta #2... just wait. Just wait.

Heh. Where we're going, we don't *need* two buttons...
