Heh, Ok. Me neither.
1. There has never been a Titanium Powerbook 12".
2. IF there was a Titanium Powerbook 12" it would not be at 1.5GHz, since the fastest Titanium Powerbook was clocked at 1.0GHz.
3. Even IF you DID have the NEWer ALUMINUM 12" Powerbook, it would not be 1.5GHz, as only the 15" and 17" Aluminum Powerbooks have that. The 12" Aluminum Powerbook is currently at 1.33GHz.
4. Apple does not manufacture their own chips. Motorola and IBM makes them.
5. People used to say that the chips Apple uses for their computer were about twice the clock speed, and I don't think it's true anymore. Chip makers have come a long way, especially for mobile computing (efficiency).
6. If you haven't added any RAM, then that is your problem. Optimization does little or nothing unless something is truly going wrong.
7. Whatever you say, dude. What kind of reasoning is that? Only non-professionals can use Macs? Guess you haven't heard of UNIX? I mean, what kind of professional users UNIX still?
8. You should use it as your only computer for a month, and then talk. It was definitely awkward coming from Windows.I think much more of Macs now that I actually use one in my home.
I don't agree. Have a good day.

1. Macs are much more intuitive than PC's.
2. As for clock speed....you are correct, you don't double it to figure the PC equivalent you TRIPLE IT !
3. Anyone doing heavy graphic intensive work, such as photographers or videographers will use a machine that can complete tasks faster. Majority, if not all professionals within these industries use Macs.
4. Macs are far less susceptible to hacking and viruses.
I actually have both a PC and Mac (both new machines purchased in the past two months) in my house and as long as my wife is not on it arranging videos or fixing photos I'll choose the Mac every time. No comparison and no substitute.

The big problem with the mini thingy is that the standard RAM (256) is not enough to run OSX. Good job on that Apple. You are making a cheap computer to enter the value PC market but its not going to run as well as the Windows box with 256RAM in it. People, the people you are trying to attract, are going to be pissed when they get it home and its not that fast, because it lacks RAM.
As for the ishuffle, I think it looks good but is stupid. I would understand this thing existing if it held 50 songs, but with the amount of songs its going to hold people are just going to get pissed.
But apple could make anything and loyal users would buy it.... see below.

2. uh it's only going to hold about 3-5 times that depending on which shuffle you get.
