Mini iPods and More Business Macs

My wife and I saw some of the mini iPods today at the local Apple Store in one of the busiest malls in the area, and they look and feel great - easy as anything to an old iPod user, and the store floor was pretty busy, even at 7 p.m. on a Saturday night.

Amusingly, I could swear I saw at least 5-8 random people in the mall with the trademark white earbuds just boppin' to their own iPods as they walked through.

In other news, the Mac onslaught at the office continues. Our CTO upgraded from his 1-year-old TiBook to a new Aluminum PowerBook, while getting another for a new hire.

The beauty is more than two new Apple machines. The "old" TiBook has been donated to our Director of IT "for supporting the Mac users".

Now one of the most Wintel-focused guys in our business is quickly crumbling to the Mac pressure, and is using the Mac base in the company to test some of the first IT projects before rolling out to the Wintelites. The Sr. Management team is 33% Mac, and our entire professional services and sales engineering teams have bought their own Mac laptops as well, making this organic growth an eventuality.

Fun, fun, fun.
