Ok - in case you are wondering this is not my apartment. (Warning: don't view this at work or with kids ) 1:05:41 PM  comment []      NY Times: "Every time you play a CD, the machine automatically copies its tracks onto its built-in 20-gigabyte hard drive. Thereafter, you can play back those songs without having to insert the original CD. The hard drive holds 300 CD's worth of music, turning this handsome unit into a self-contained jukebox." OK - if anyone out there is making my Christmas list, add this nifty device too. $US1000 is not cheap though. Note to Sony: Your website is crap. Utter crap. Lots of Flash and flashy things. Impossible to find this product. Gave up. Fire your designers.

The $39.95 stand for iBooks and PowerBooks is designed to raise the LCD screen to a neck and back-friendly viewing height of 16 inches, which can make your portable computer into a more ergonomic desktop computer when combined with a keyboard and mouse. Oh I want one - but $AUS80, plus shipping is very expensive. And of course I'd need two - one for home and one for the office. Ack!
