G5
Finally got my hands on one of the new Apple G5's today and took it for a quick test drive. A noticebly huge improvement over my G4, just in terms of zipping round the finder, opening 5 programs at once etc. Started up classic in about 10 seconds. And this was only the single 1.6 model. It is noticebly quiet, especially compared to the current Leaf Blower, but its pretty big. Looks OK, though....
Also saw the G5 ad on Japanese TV. Pretty lame rip off of the Hulk trailer if you ask me.
Picked up a great Japan-issue double Beach Boys LP, in a hard back case and mint vinyl. Also picked up the X-Men 2 DVD, and it wasn't till I got back to the hotel that I noticed they'd thrown in a mini Kubrick figure, and I got Wolverine.
