I would look for Jobs to wow folks with a final version of iSync, perhaps some more PDA-like features of the iPod and either an attachment to the iPod that will allow MPEG4 viewing or a new device that incorporates such (these are the new tech gadgets that are hitting the market, and Apple can't afford the iPod appearing to get "stale"). I would look at June for new TiBook models, which is the extended deadline of OSX-only boxen. -- <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Mike Bigley Maineville, Ohio http://www.norbertrunning.com Please support an American Indian Elder & Medicine Man by visiting the above link. <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
