    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.

    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.).

    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.

    Update to my list:

    Sigma DP1: http://www.sigma-dp1.com

    Can't wait to see the first test images. I really could need a small camera with a big sensor for less noise on my mountainbike tours.

    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.
