New iPod Photo packaging is thinner, has foil lettering and less emphasis on the word “Photo”.

MacCast listener Rick sent in a photo of his Mac set up and said this:

…I noticed your page has photos that listeners have sent of their systems – well, I took a pic of my oldest Mac (a now non-workin Mac SE/30 that I bought for £20 from my Math tutor’s son who had it via University in Australia of all places and they had it from a University in California) and my iMac G4.

That’s not the whole retro collection, there’s a Mac Colour Classic that I bought in a charity shop for £12, ‘cus they couldn’t work out that you had to turn it on via the keyboard. I also have a few older PowerMacs (6100, 7100, G3 Platinum, G3 Blue). I don’t have room for all these Macs – but I keep collecting them!

In a newsletter released Wednesday, Apple gave customers a first look at the packaging for OS X Tiger scheduled for release in the first half of 2005. The package is all black with a large platinum “X” that extends off the edges of the box. Drop shadows add to the illusion.

MacCast listener PJK who does the PJK Podcast sent in this pict of his home setup. I wonder if he is always that neat?

This is too cool. I actually thought something like this would be ideal for the MacMini. Wordman has posted this concept for a MacMini dock to allow integration into your home media center over on his Asteroid blog. I totally want one.
