Eve is boggarting my Apple

Ok, so the other day I'm thinking it's time to spend some of my hard earned Second Life dough here in the real world.  Oh yes, I've been messing around in Second Life for a couple of years now.  Developed my building skills, started working with a couple of scripters and a person who's RL is all about marketing.  Anyway, to date we've netted around $500,000.00 in Linden dollars.  

So I take L$100,000 and, at an exchange rate of something like L$265 to US$1, exchange it for just under US$360.00 after fees and whatever (nope, I'm not getting rich off of SL).  I bought an iTouch and a decent pair of speakers.  

So why am I telling you this?  Because my limited exposure to the iTouch (can't pry it out of my wife's hands), makes it clear to me that Apple is well on its way to transforming how people interact with machines.  If you are using a Windows operating system right now and it's your bedtime, go to the "Start" button, located at the bottom left corner of your screen, to turn your computer off.
