Why don't these macs come with a built in digital out for sound? Except that strange USB solution, of course. This has been standard on most pc's for a long while and is especially strange since a lot of people use macs for audio/video-editing applications. I'm planning on buying one of those gorgeous powerbooks (first mac), but i'm going to have to spend another 100+ dollars on an USB to S/Pdif adaptor. Not that that'll break the bank, compared to the cost of the powerbook. Admittedly, these are the only drawbacks I could find.
another sci-fi worth checking out.

While we're on the subject of nearly neglected films, this one didn't get much attention:
Avalon by Mamoru Oshii, of 'Ghost in the Shell' fame.
It's beautiful, go and see it.
