I knew this would happen.

About 2 months ago, I bought an Apple iBook, and I've been pretty happy with it, despite the despicable trackpad, some web & software compatibility issues, and the little things that have stopped working recently for no apparent reason. At the time, I figured Apple was never going to release an iBook with their faster G4 processor, or if they did, it would be a long time coming. Wrong. The new iBooks are here, and they are bigger, better, faster, more. They are the same price as the old iBooks were. And I want one, BAD. If only I'd known, if I'd waited, I could have a faster processor, bigger hard drive, better graphics card, speedier wireless networking, zippier USB ports, the newest OS, same meager memory (which doesn't seem to matter since the Mac OS memory management really is superior to Windows), same trackpad I loathe, and the all-important feeling that I got the most bang for my buck. And, I wouldn't be sitting here writing what may be my geekiest boring-technical-crap post to date.

I hate you, Apple. Stop making cool things I want!

On a happier note, though, iTunes is now available for Windows. I personally find it quite delightful, and it's free, so hooray for everyone.
