Default Apple products - rock my boat
If we're talking gadget's it's got to be Apple as the supreme brand.

Not just computers, but ipods etc. Can't wait til Australia get the iPhone - I need it in my life.....

Nothing more exciting than a new Apple annoucement - sad isn't it??

I agree, when I got my first iPod it was the best present ever - how did I commute 2 hours a day without it?

However, OH not so pleased, my obsession has led to us owning a Shuffle, Nano, Video Classic - and the most fantastic ipod Touch. I love it so much it's shameful!

Next on my list (when I finally get a job...sigh) is Apple TV - now that would revolutionise my tv experience!

I bought my first Mac 14 years ago and now use an iBook G4, my youngest uses her MacBook Pro for Tafe. Apples 'think different' tagline has served our family well as we are proficient on both OS's. But my preference is still an Apple a day keeps the PC doctor away

Do the iPod batteries still expire just after the warranty is up or have they fixed that? <runs>

Ah well, y'all be updating to the latest and greatest in 6 months anyway ... welcome to machine people you are now locked-into Planned Obsolesence and are officially part of some executive's pension plan.

Ah, get a life Matt, leave 'em be you sad sack'o'shite ... yeh, yer right ... the iPhone is just STUPID money though, come on!

Reminds me, must recharge/top-up my old Nokia brick at some point.

You could always change the earphones?

size of iphone like a brick - all the better to pose with?! - til I get mugged anyway!

Notice how so many programmes/adverts now include the apple products, computers or phone or ipod - they are the ultimate accessories - and never break, or need you to waste time on them getting rid of viruses etc
