I'm anxiously awaiting the newest annoucements from Apple today. What kinds of wondrous products will The Steve be unveiling? An iPod that filters out beggar's requests while you're walking down the street? Extending the "Undo" functionality into other aspects of your life?--THAT would be worth any cost! Imagine spilling milk: no worries, just hit Apple-Z and undo it. How about your life's savings invested in Enron: Apple-Z and you're not destitute anymore. The possibilities are endless!

It's amazing how far computers have come, though. I remember getting my first Mac back in high school. It had one megabyte of RAM and I saved up and bought an external harddrive that held 40 megabytes! I couldn't imagine filling it up, either. How times have changed--now my cell phone has more capacity than the old harddrive and everything is in COLOR! Ugg--how old am I going to sound to my kids when I talk about using black and white computers and at a time before the internet had even been thought up! They'll think that an old Apple II was the kind of computer that the Founding Fathers© used to write the Constitution. (And a little-known historical fact was that the Bible was written on REALLY old technology--an IBM Selectric TYPEWRITER. And if you don't know what a typewriter is, it's like a computer that doesn't have a screen, can't correct errors, doesn't spell check, can't print out multiple copies of a document, and takes almost three weeks just to load Age of Empires. Hey, that's why they called it the Dark Ages, not because Christian fundamentalists stifled scientific progress and learning.)
