Looks like I get another three months or so of intrest…
on the investments I’ve got tagged for a new “toy” notebook: AppleInsider is saying no Intel iBooks until June.
Until then, it’s just the daily look at the refurb section of the Apple Store to see if they mismark a 12″ G4 PowerMac at about $900, and fishing for the “MacBook” page…

The Mac Book Pros are showing up refurbished at the Apple store.

Refurbished iMac Core Duo’s available!

Happy Pi Day!
Hope y’all had your favorite at a little before 2 this afternoon. I had a first – Kentucky Pie, which is apparently pecan pie with a chocolate chip cookie crust. That and a cuppa. Good thing for the afternoon.
Don’t forget to make plans for November 10th, the Julian Pi day.
