Briefly: iPod boosts Apple numbers... Bush's iPod...
In brief: Apple is now shipping more than four times as many iPods as Macintosh computers (Apple's sales grew 45 percent to $9.7 billion in 2004, while its net income rocketed to $508 million from $140 million a year before).... U.S. President George Bush's iPod is "heavy on traditional country singers" such as George Jones, Alan Jackson and Kenny Chesney (Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl" is a Bush favorite).... AppleScript Pro will include coverage of Adobe's recently unveiled Creative Suite 2 in Monterey, CA, May 2-6 with a special session on scripting XML in InDesign CS2 by Olav Martin Kvern of Adobe Systems.

And did anyone expect his iPod to be filled with Shania Twain garbage and heavy metal from the 80s? ["Yeah, Iron Maiden rulez!", President Bush was quoted.]
As for Bush, being his age and doing 18 miles with a heart rate in the 160s+, I am impressed. Kerry also keeps in good physical shape.
Me, I would die if I did what Bush or Kerry does. Politics aside, those guys have high stress jobs and stree ages you fast. Clinton, on the other had, jogged to McDonalds.
As for Bush, well, I guess I hope he cranks his iPod volume up next time Cheney, Wolfowitz and Pearle start bending his ear about the next country we need to invade.
I also noticed on Showtime's "The L Word", that the one character was using a new 15" Powerbook while sitting in bed; a good 10 sec shot of the aluminum back with the glowing white apple.
It just didn't seem to be anything different than what I'd seen in a dozen other TV shows over the years.
Then again, I can't believe 83caddy16y admitted he gets Showtime. I got three free months of that from DirecTV, and I think there was a dozen things (at most) that I watched, and half of those were "Well, I never heard of this movie, but how bad could it be? Its on Showtime!" only to find out. Showtime/Starz/HBO/Cinemax all seem to have the same motto: "Come see the movies you missed in the theaters (because they lasted only two days, or never quite made it to the theaters)."
