Apple TV promises to be a huge financial success for reasons that have little to do with TV and everything to do with music.

I work on Linux for the grid, installed Linux desktop at home — this is being written on a 800 MHz desktop with a failing graphics card, in Firefox on Mepis, an Ubtuntu variant. I have administered Solaris and Windows 2000, and run Windows XP Professional on my current old HP laptop.
But after using an older Mac Powerbook G4 at the lab, I couldn't do anything but buy a Macintosh. They just work.

It's a brave foray into the living room, but it's late and Apple has to build on it.
by Jeff Carlson, Seattle Times
The Apple TV is compelling because Apple has done the living room right. The quality of the experience stands out the most, supported by the overall polish and attention to detail ranging from the easy navigation to the drifting photo screensaver that kicks into gear to prevent screen burn-in on plasma displays.

I'vehad a lot of computers. From growing up in a household with a stepfather who was an engineer, to my college days (both of them), to my 15+ year career in tech... I've seen a lot of machines come and go.

I'm back from my break. (In real life, I was actually away in Hong Kong for a business trip.)
Thanks for all who wrote in with their feedback and notes of encouragement. These are all very appreciated! And, also, apologies to those whose e-mail ended up into my junk folder. I simply didn't have the time to go through the huge junk folder that ballooned just after a few days of neglect.
Do keep those feedback coming in. I enjoy reading them all. I just hope that spam is not as huge a problem.
