really? Data? Why the big emphasis on iTunes? A/V is not only optical you know. More people still use computers for A/V than use an Apple TV. I stand by my statement that it would have been nice to offer a variant of the mini with an optical disc device this time around. Introduce the mini without but have a variant with for the "luddites" who still use optical (which I bet is still a rather large majority of people). Broadband in the US is not everywhere or fast. Not everyone wants to "rent" media. Some like to buy. And that "some" is probably larger than the group is streams significantly (still). I do agree that the change will happen, but it has not happened yet I wager (while physical media sales are down, are they down over 50%?) _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
