I am now officially a homeowner again! (random)
Gigabit Ethernet also makes it exceedingly handy for use as a Logic slave processor, now that the Universal version of Logic is finally out.
And of course, it comes with Front Row and a remote, making it PERFECT for HTPC uses.
Oh man. Apple has finally made the perfect HTPC system, and then some.
Right now it's charging, but the ridiculous thing about it already is the way it's packaged; it comes in a small, cardboard box, which is then entombed in a large, hermetically-sealed blister pack, which seems to only be there so that a retailer can hang it from one of those hangy posts, but every retailer which carries it keeps it either locked away or inside one of those anti-theft boxes, making it moot!
Bad news: I need to pay another $78 to the state of New York, because even though I only made a relatively tiny amount while I was there in 2005, they rate my (partial-year) New York income bracket based on my whole-year income.

Although you should really come see the whole show, rumor has it that my solo set will be at 8:00, and that Octothorpe will be at 10:30. So you need to come from 8:30 to 10:00 at least.
Anyway, the condo I looked at was in central Ballard (pretty close to the bus stop), in a dense but quiet residential area which isn't too far from downtown Ballard.
