Steve Jobs, What Are You Thinking?

Okay, a bit of a non sequitor, but as a Mac fan whose writing career has been supported and nurtured by Apple products (I'll never forget finishing my first writing contract on an old, dependable Apple II because my brand-new fancy shmancy Sony Vaio had died - I'll never buy PC again) I just have to ask Steve Jobs, what's up with the lame mini Ipod announcement at Macworld yesterday? Four gig for $249? Why would I buy that when for $299 I can get a normal Ipod with fifteen gigs of storage? Even if mini Ipods are littler (but not that much littler) and come in pink. Silly, silly Steve. Knock a hundred bucks off the price, just for starters. Then maybe we'll buy some of them.

Thanks, I feel better now.
