I was shocked when I saw this. (And very little shocks me these days)
The sick bastard that does this should be executed right now.
But I wonder -- what was the point?

Last night I finally set up my iMac at home, months after we moved into our
new house. It worked fine for five minutes, letting me join a wireless
network and get my email, then crashed. The mouse pointer moved, nothing

Help me decide - has anyone got one of these beauties? I have got a 2 x

....plus a new pink nano. Available at an Apple Store near you now.

release it before I come back to the UK, and I somehow think that I'm
