'iPod hand-off' to the Mac ?
Has anybody actually bought an expensive Macintosh simply because of a music player?

So how would Apple be able to keep people from porting the OS to AMD based machines?

That's one way.
I suspect, eventually, it will be hacked to run on non Apple x86 machines.
Apple might actually "look the other way" when it happens.
Another OS to chip away at Bill's defacto monopoly.

Do you think I should post on my profile page that I'm a Mac user and a Conservative?

499 is expensive for you? I mean the iPod os like minimum 300 anyway. 499 seems in the price range of anyone paying 300 for an mp3 player.

I was just about ready to say that, about the hacking. Either way I think it would profit Apple alot more if they were to allow all x86 chips to use there OS.

It's using the Pentium M, if it doesn't get a specific serial number from the chip it won't run, and aledgedly there's no way to fake the serial number.

Just kidding. I'm own/use a PowerBook G4 with the lovely 17". Much better than my old PC in operation and fit/finish.

Make it compatible with Intel platforms and I'll definitely take a stab at it.

Have you been using Macs for long? A guy down the hall in my office owns a Mac-only service company. He showed me some real antiques the other day. They were, from what he told me, Macintoshes before they were Apple. Predating the Apple IIe by some years. I asked if they had the same trouble with the Y2K thing and he said the date went as recent as 1993. No video editing on that bad boy.

I'm a newby. My first machine was Performa 6200 from Sears. I bought the First Bondi Blue iMac and now using a Goose Neck iMac which I bought just before the 17" and 20" monitors came out. :(
My box is simply a internet connection for me. No Geek in this house. MY granddaughter had to show me how to download RUSH to my iPod..
