Macworld oh my

Well, I have been waiting a while for this. I did not expect to be so disappointed and happy a the same time. The only iPhone news was the upgraded firmware (1.1.3), which I got this afternoon. Disappointed because there was no 3rd party or 3G news, but happy that they aren't coming out with a new one already, and for the new firmware, which is awesome (custom buttons, find-me button, etc.)
The Macbook air was a disappointment and excitement too. I think it is overpriced and mostly useless, and it is making me reconsider the eee pc, and possibly the cloudbook by everex. Both of these seem to fit a niche need. The only niche the MBA fits is in the high-end looks, not in high-end functionality. I am also more happier than ever to have my macbook (which I am using right now).
The rest of my day was spent at the CP house, losing my mind trying to get the DSL to play nice with the router. It finally worked, and I honestly don't know why or how. Then I went over to Sterin's and watched Hard Candy with the girl from Juno. It was tense! I would say one of the best horror/thriller movies I've seen, but I haven't seen much of that genre. It was NOT the Saw or the hills' eyes or any of that crap.
Finally, I just now purchased and Elgato Eyetv hybrid. I am very jazzed about it. It was down to $99 from $150 in honor of Macworld, and it comes with the updated software (which now costs $40, but not to me). Another great day.
And I didn't break the chain yet.
