Well, it’s not like I own the G5, I’m just using it and will have to give it back in a couple weeks. Which I won’t mind doing, since it’s like having a sauna hot rocks box sitting next to my feet. ---

Truth be told, I’m stressing the hell out of it on purpose, and this may very well be b/c it’s a prototype, and I’m certain Apple will work all of this out before they arrive in consumers’ hands, (toe tap, shuffle, soft shoe, break), but yes, the machine I have could light a spleef ten miles away. ---
