A mate has a new model iBook - a work of art as usual.
If only the price became right!
Recently attended a work related medical conference at the Adelaide Convention Centre, 2 of the US visiting speakers used PowerBooks and Keynote for their presentations - what a breath of fresh air. The rotating cube transition getting "Ooohs" and "Aahs" from the audience.

Escape at Bedtime, by Robert Louis Stevenson
The lights from the parlour and kitchen shone out
Through the blinds and the windows and bars;
And high overhead and all moving about,
There were thousands of millions of stars.
There ne'er were such thousands of leaves on a tree
Nor of people in church or the Park,
As the crowds of the stars that looked down upon me,
And that glittered and winked in the dark.
The Dog, and the Plough, and the Hunter, and all,
And the star of the sailor, and Mars,
These shone in the sky, and the pail by the wall
Would be half full of water and stars.
They saw me at last, and they chased me with cries,
And they soon had me packed into bed;
But the glory kept shining and bright in my eyes,
And the stars going round in my head.
Can't wait to pick it up this week.
