				Apple Hi-Fi re-invented

					Fill your home with sound, not stereo components. Keep your music collection at your fingertips, not in countless CD cases. Change the way you experience digital music. At £249 (UK) /€379 (Ireland) including VAT, iPod Hi-Fi delivers crystal-clear, audiophile-quality sound in a clean, compact design. Hear, hear. Where did the stereo go? Just slide your iPod (1) into the built-in Universal Dock to turn on and tune in to digital music as you’ve never heard it before. From pumping bass to bright treble, iPod Hi-Fi delivers natural, room-filling sound. Close your eyes and you’d think you were listening to a huge stack of speakers. But iPod Hi-Fi measures just 43.2 x 16.8 x 17.5 cm. Virtuoso performance As versatile as it is compact, iPod Hi-Fi incorporates thoughtful touches that make playing your music pure pleasure. Use the included Apple Remote to control music playback from any seat in the house. Charge your iPod through the iPod Hi-Fi Dock while you play music. Or take your show on the road courtesy of D-cell battery (2) power. All that makes iPod Hi-Fi pretty extraordinary. Just like iPod.

				Book review - Apple Confidential 2.0

				Listeners Comments - Hi Will, I stumbled across you podcast [search the Podcast directory for BRITISHMAC] by accident when looking on the BBC podcast site. I've listened to your latest edition with the mention of UK Mugs on Apple's site. Last year an open invitation was sent to all UKMUG leaders to meet and discuss the Mac Expo in November and the promotion of MUGs and the MUG movement in general. The meeting was in London, with about 6 attendees. Out of the meeting I offered to set up a website for all UK & Irish MUGS: http://www.macusersuk.org And to design and progress a flyer about MUGs for the Expo. One of the main purposes of the website was to provide a central resource for everyone involved in MUG management, promotion etc. To that end there is a complete and up-to-date (as we know it) list of all UK & Irish MUGs with their contact details and websites where available. There are feedback forms for leaders to submit new and updated information. Please have a look and: let me know what you think you might have some suggestions how we can help each other It would be really good if you could mention the website and the fact that we are an up-to-the minute source for all UK & Irish MUGs. I'd like to mention you Podcast. Can you send me some instructions on how to find you. Looking forward to hearing from you. CC: Michael Corgan
