My brother has an iPod, and I really don't like it very much. However, I will say that some of the other portable apple crap isn't that bad. The mac mini is neat, if I can get my hands on one I'd like to try it and become familiar with mac. It's like learning another language
I do realize they're switching to new processors and stuff, that pleases me! The more I think about it, the more I would like to familiarize myself with Mac and *nix
