Cool Cat-out-of-Bag: iPod 2.0 with PDA touch screen!

Apple may announce on Monday that it may be releasing before MacWorld Expo NY, a modified version of the $499 10GB iPod, possibly at $599 (only a hundy more!) and with a new LCD touch-screen with an onscreen keyboard for input; it would add all of the core Contact Organizer options (address book, calendar, to-do list, plus notes) and would be able to Sync to OS X desktop but would *not* allow third-party applications to run on it (nor other Apple applications at this point in time -- the processor is too slow). Actual release date unknown.

Here and here are the links to the possible upcoming press releases!

Just kidding, April Fool's Day!

The preceding post concerning the fictitious iPod 2.0 is -- unfortunately -- NOT true and is not in any way intended to be actual factual information. IT IS PURELY AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE. I have NO information whatsoever about Apple's wonderful iPod -- although I DO wish that it were true, believe me!

Happy pre-April Fool's Day!! (After all, if I posted this thread precisely on the 1st, it'd be a dead give way ... you're all too clever, right!?

Easter/Passover

I cover all my bases:

I spread blood on my door (my wife really hates this) and I run around chasing little bunnies (that could be the 'shrooms). JUST KIDDING! Haven't done Hallucinogens since the '80s!! Oh, my days at BU. They taught me soo much.

I also keep a Festivus (The Festival for the Rest of us) Pole up year 'round. Our "Airing of Grievances" ceremonies can get quite animated...
