As the Macworld turns

Wait, Steve, back
up a slide; I blinked. What was that skinny rack thing with the
turbo ports carved out of the front? Oh, never mind. That's a cute
little iPod you've got there.

All I can say about iPod mini is
that I'm always misplacing business cards. Any device that size
would go straight to whatever limbo those cards call
home.

Nonetheless, Steve Jobs' keynote at the 2004
Macworld Conference & Expo was dominated by creative tools:
substantially overhauled editions of iLife and Final Cut Express.
They matter more to you than you probably think, a case I'll make
in a later column.
