The YouTube video is great and should be circulated to the Retro group. I would put the URL in the chat area so everyone would be more likely to see it and check out the link. You could also, upload it to your video page. If you would like a shorter upload, you could edit it down, and make it 'iPod' size, with a link to the full size video.

I would be just giddy with excitement unboxing such a gem of Apple history. Wow! Congratulations again one such a win.

Did it come with a key?

On the back of the computer, there is a key hole, with a lock symbol, but I have never seen a TAM key, or heard of one mentioned. Since yours was new, in the box, I was thinking you would be the one to ask. If it came with a key, you would know.

And please don't let the answer be, 42.

And yes, 42 is in reference to the Hitchhikers Guide, and also to one of the Podcast in which it was mentioned.

I was on your YouTube page yesterday viewing some of your videos, and that G4 Cube is beautiful! It makes an amazing lighted sculpture. What a fantastic idea.

And you are a Ren Fair fan? Cool! A group of us from work try to get to our Renaissance Fair each year. We've had to narrow our group out a bit, some people just walk around and say 'I just don't get it.'
