You know, the can openers from Ikea are just fine.
So when's GPS coming out for the PSP?
I used to hate microwaves too, but the wife converted me. Never cook anything, of course, but great for reheating stuff.

I'm on the other side of a couple of weird growing pains... top of the line machines will love it. It ran like a champ on my main rig, but I can't install it as my main OS on my main PC. It got relegated to the laptop/travel machine where I run 50% of my software from the USB stick instead.
And honestly, after trimming it down - used Yamicsoft's Vista Manager as a starting point to see what could be trimmed down, and then did it manually - it's not half bad. More PITA than WinXP, not as straight-forward as Win2k... but not bad.

Oh, it's not that bad after you've installed all your programs. Only if you plan on doing admin stuff constantly (which I could see you doing), but for most users, after installing all their programs, they'll never really see it again.

I don't want a gadgety one either - nothing electric (too many bits to go wrong there).
What I want is a basic tin opener that actually works and will still be working in a years time.. no, I want this thing to last 10 years actually...
I think that we'll both be waiting forever for a decent tin opener... I bought a new one recently and it broke after the first use....

Leopard more than anything. There's a few little annoyances in OS X that I hope they fix (such as Finder improvements, find-as-you-type integrated [aka no plug-ins needed] for Safari, etc.).

HUH?
Tomorrow . . . and tomorrow I will be waiting for the next day. Hmm Got something else that I am waiting for as well, but won't announce that just yet. I am waiting for my son to start walking, maybe then my wife and sister in law will clean up thier bloody messes .
As for programs, new cars, games, new bikes, and the such sadly I am not waiting on anything. But honestly as far back as I can remembe I have never waited for such things. Seems odd now that I think about it. Bah.

Splinter Cell 5, which is, for some reason, being released in the same years as splinter cell 4!?

Are you that damn lazy? A few twists of the wrist, you saved some power, created less CO2 and you get the tactile pleasure of opening up something that a caveman would be confused with.
