The average user doesn't know what Ogg Vorbis is, Ogg Vorbis files are not natively supported by their default media player. They might also have a portable device, such as an iPod, which doesn't support Ogg Vorbis.
Until M$ release Windows Media Player with Ogg Vorbis support, and Apple release iTunes with Ogg Vorbis support, it won't even begin to be ready for the average user.
Once the initial WOW factor is taken into consideration, I think that for most users, these FUS features will be like a bag of tungsten tipped screws, that is... never gonna use them, never gonna use them.
I think part of the problem comes from the fact that artists are on different labels in different countries. With the potential for different labels in different parts of Europe, it may result in a UK iTMS, a French iTMS, etc.
I bought one about two-three weeks ago, it arrived with a huge problem with the screen, where the LCD would 'corrupt' as if it were touching the back of the case.
They're collecting it on Monday and I should have a new one next week. They ship from Egypt apparently.
they should release a 23" powerbook, with 16 G4 processors, made entirely out of lead.
i wouldnt buy it, but i'm sure Steve Jobs could tell me why I should...
The penny is just a price rhetoric -- designed to simply make you think it's cheaper. Sometimes it's 5 pennies, sometimes it's a pound/dollar/euro. The idea is the same.

Britain is just liberated ;)
Alternatively, a service like port995.com will give you an authorised SMTP server you can send from, anywhere.
I've been using it for a year or so, it's fantastic.
On The Back to the Future Tour of course!

There's also a flaw in MechAssault, which is published by... Microsoft... so it's not just 007.
Given that PDF is the standard in printing, and Mac OS X has PDF at the very core of it, why the desire to wean users off Macs?
Also, remember that *Apple* is the company, Mac is the product. Mac don't make Apple's and Apple Mac don't make them either! ;)
It pains me to think of the number of times I've had to explain that, even to sales droids...
...but Creative Commons is a useful license, and it's integration with tools like Movable Type meant that this was pretty inevitable, sadly.
Nah, it's billg@microsoft.com - you might even get a form letter if you're lucky.

Very very very nice machines.
...Imagine a BeoWulf Cluster of these...
Mine too... perhaps we could split it? ;)

All your IP are belong to me.
I'm posting this on an eMac, 700Mhz.. 12" PBs are sweet, but I've got my 17" being assembled right now.
...er excuse me, dingleberry, but the thread title is '7 letters'...
;)
your mistake.
You can get an eMac now for $799... That's not exactly expensive, especially for branded hardware.
Somebody set us up the box!!
We get Linux!!
I'm not a betting man, but I figure that this would be the place for it to be announced.
I think they are two different points:-
Point 1. Being more like a Mac.
Point 2. Microsoft will not allow Linux on this machine.

Hmm.. I'd really like to see a copy of this, if anyone has it?
you're obviously some kind of a terrorist.

Why else would you not be running Windows?
