I got a heads-up about that from someone yesterday and I actually 
caught that (I never watch her). It was a GREAT moment and you cannot 
BUY that kind of publicity for love nor money.

Indeed, just MOMENTS after it happened, an Apple-HATING friend called 
me on the phone and asked me if I was SURE the iPod worked with 
Windows? After I assured her it did, she said "that's it, I'm buying 
one!"

Satan will be ice-skating to work tomorrow!
