I am definitely looking forward to the results of your testing. After my
shopping expedition at the iTunes Music Store last weekend, I realized
that my Ti would be much more enjoyable with an optional sound output.
I'd like something specifically for my Ti, though I really could switch
the subwoofer set up I have for the old Mac - but I'm terribly lazy,
since it involves a bit of climbing and I'm definitely not steady on my
feet with age.
