You could have bought one of those locked-down Texas Instruments graphic calculators. Purchasing one of those really brings out the ire of most geeks, it seems.
Pfft, only HP calculators using RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) qualify as geek-worthy.

it'll be interesting to see how the iWorks applications (and Keynote in particular) will work in multi-touch form
ArsTechnica's review of iWork for iPad
Sounds a bit constrained.

You guys aren't helping me much with my 'isn't capitalism just a big pyramid scheme?' problem, I must say.
Danielle, have I got the presentation for you! Umm, well it will probably only reinforce your pyramid scheme "problem". Although it's not really your problem.
Crises of Capitalism. An incredibly animated presentation by David Harvey who is using classical marxist analysis of the global finacial crisis.

Jobs' over-arching need to control every. single. bloody. thing that users do with Apple's products
I like to think of it as my over-arching need to let Jobs control every single bloody thing.
Seriously though, all OSs don't suit everyone. I like OSX and I have never thought about the title-bars. If I did, I maybe I would be annoyed and use Linux/KDE instead. Personally, I'm bored with tinkering with my computers and Macs offer a tinker-free experience.
But that's just my opinion.

A question about the iPad, does it have a floppy drive?
No, but you can connect one to the parallel port ;-)

Whatever that new iMac costs :-)
Exactly, and I'm prepared to pay for that innovation, design and engineering. I would not really describe myself as a fanboi, certainly not since 1986. I would never have bothered with the pre-OS X Macs. Now, I use their iMac and Macbook Pro. Oh, and the iPhone and a few iPods. But have no real use for or interest in the iPad. So, umm, obviously not a fanboi.

What's the going price for innovation, design and engineering?

inverted snobbery
Tell me about it! I've been suffering from if for years. I can't even bring myself to upgrade my 21-inch CRT TV. I keep meaning to, and I guess I could afford it, but everytime I find myself in the shop I think " C'mon, spending money on a TV is just so common. "
But then I felt the same when I upgraded to my current TV 15 years ago from my 12-inch black and white TV.
Luckily I don't suffer from this wrt my work equipment so it's Macs all around. Have you seen the new Quad-Core 27-inch iMacs?

For a keyboard!Ah, but it's a wireless keyboard. And as a bonus it comes with no numeric keypad.
