missroseroseNow, I'm not exactly what you'd call an Apple Devotee quite yet - while I admit a lot of their products are cool, most of them aren't really things I need or want. So I wasn't really hyped about MacWorld as, say, Brian is.
However, I am a computer geek, and therefore just susceptible enough to Steve Jobs' famed RDF to have to admit that the newly announced MacBook Air is way, way cool.
I have no particular desire to own one - my MacBook (which I still love) cost almost $600 less, is all of one inch thick, and weighs a whopping five pounds - but Jesus Christ that is one sexy machine.
To be honest, I'm actually more interested in one of the more humdrum new products introduced - the Time Capsule, in large part because we were thinking of doing something very similar ourselves with an Airport Extreme and an external hard drive. Integrated one-button network backup? Awesome. Plus we can use it as a streaming network drive for lossless audio, which was our original intent...
