I wanted to smack the shit outta the guy in front of me- he wouldn't shut up to save his life. He was trying to "sell" a mac to his friend that was just standing there with him..I truly felt sorry for him.</p> <p>Also, I found out when I installed iLife 08 on my wife's g4 ibook that it <b>did</b> install- all except imovie (apparently that requires an intel mac). Which G4 did you have? Again, I installed it on the 14" 1.42ghz version.</p> yeah, I’m not really sure why I stood in line..I mean, there were some serious mouth-breathers in that line.

I prefer to have the extra space at the bottom of the screen for apps, not the dock. And you waited in line for 95? Wow, that's hardcore. I gotta know, what machine did that go on? Mine was a P75 with 8<i>MB</i> RAM and a 4gb hard drive. Hot stuff, brand new from Dell.</p> @John – left side for us little screen users.
