Salling Clicker is rock solid. And it is not a gizmo: it is something thousands of people use daily. It truly is phone/iTunes integration.
I use it daily with my Sony Ericsson T68i and/or Palm Tungsten T3 to control iTunes without line of sight from anywhere in my (admittedly small) apartment. Integration, stability, user interface are all golden.
S Clicker makes a "device" out of this functionality, not a flashy demo app.
Yeah, I feel a burning need to run two Unices at the same time on the same machine.
Maybe Ill have the GIMP running on X Windows in OS X and Ill have another GIMP under Red Hat.
Just for the heck of it.
The user interface is the same: scroll through options or through the system's phone directory by rotating the wheel. Enter your choices by clicking the center button.
All four volume settings are also controlled via the wheel: ringer volume, phone speaker volume, stereo volume, and tv volume.
-only about 500K songs
-no audio books, gift certificates, spending limits for kids
-Microsoft runs ads on its search pages
-click the "Buy" button, it changes to read "Purchased," but that doesn't mean you have the song
- several thousand of Microsoft's songs will cost more -- some nearly $4 each
-WMP choked when tried to synchronize songs purchased in Microsoft's own format from the Musicmatch, Wal-Mart and Napster online stores, saying it was "unable to obtain license
-Overall, MSN Music is no match for iTunes -- yet.
Though Apple has apparently designed a great OS for slowing the spread/proliferation of virii and reducing the impact of DoS attacks, it's all being shelved due to Windows IT staff job security.

What happens today to people who scream on airplanes, run down the aisle, and assault other passengers with pillows, like Kennedy has done?
Ted could drink about as much as any man and still appear relatively sober. That was the most dangerous of gifts. But something was different now, and this trip brought him back to thoughts of death and dying. "They're going to shoot my ass off the way they shot Bobby's," he said as the reporters listened and took their private notes. Wanting only to pop a few more drinks, he did not eat at the airport in Fairbanks on the way home. He got on the plane and asked the flight attendant for a drink, and then another. He swaggered up and down the aisle, bouncing a pillow on the head of one of his aides, shouting for him to wake up, and then weaving along shouting, "Eskimo power! Eskimo power!" The journalists listened and noted Ted's sad state, but none of them wrote about it in their publications when they got home.

Chanting political slogans and assaulting passengers? Okay, it was 1972, but we pay TSA to stay vigilant against anyone with a history of unstable political activity, don't we?
I have a December 1999 G4 Power Mac (Sawtooth - AGP graphics). It is 4 yrs 9 months old.
This is a second-generation graphite G4 ---> the prior version was PCI graphics. And prior to that, you had the G3 towers with the same form factor, but bondi blue. Therefore, any beige Mac has to be older than 5.
My G4 has a 23 inch 2-megapixel LCD screen, RAID 0, 0.48TB internal HDDs, Bluetooth, 2GB RAM, and runs its OS X operating system better than when it was new. I have two open PCI slots; I am thinking of using one for 7.1 channel optical audio soon. Any questions?

When Windows 3.0 came out, it started selling reasonably well. But what REALLY made it take off... was Word.
The version of Word which killed WordStar 2000 and WordPerfect came directly from the Mac:
For the release after Word 2.0, the team merged with the MacWord team (then on release 5.1), and built a shared product called Word 6.0 (released in late 1993). That's why on Windows the Word version numbering seemed to jump from 2 to 6 - because the Mac was already on 5.x.
---http://weblogs.asp.net/chris_pratley/archive/20 04/04/27/120944.aspx
So your hypothesis that MS owes it all to Word needs additional support, for, if all people wanted was a perfect processor, they could have switched to Mac.
How Mac Word beat MacWrite... that's a mistery to me. I used to run a Mac lab in college in the '80s and the simple and elegant MacWrite was complex enough for people. Word was torture, when compared to MacWrite. I guess people are willing to suffer in the name of feature creep.

From Mossberg's review at the WSJ:
-only about 500K songs
-no audio books, gift certificates, spending limits for kids
-Microsoft runs ads on its search pages
-click the "Buy" button, it changes to read "Purchased," but that doesn't mean you have the song
- several thousand of Microsoft's songs will cost more -- some nearly $4 each
-WMP choked when tried to synchronize songs purchased in Microsoft's own format from the Musicmatch, Wal-Mart and Napster online stores, saying it was "unable to obtain license
-Overall, MSN Music is no match for iTunes -- yet.
Mossberg thinks eventually MS will catch up.

Spammers of the world, begin to shake on your boots!
Actually, you can start shaking once we hit anti-spam resolution #18. No need to shake before then.
In cubic cm:
iPod mini: 59
iPod: 100
Dell DJ: 156
The DJ is 164% larger than the Mini and 56% larger than the 3rd generation iPod.
If your iPod still works, keep it or sell it on eBay. Then dump the DJ on ebay
If it is broken, Dell is the way to go.
