Hi

Oh, ok.

Yes the iPod mini was stuck in the middle, though if you look at the  
color choices they were less flashy and fruity than the iMac or the  
new Shuffles, and they "evolved" into the Black and White Nanos  
(which have also come around back to color).

I guess "retro" is in and the iPod has been around long enough that   
retro Apple can be in...

I guess with the Shuffle I was most reminded of the iMacs because of  
the color matchup and the brightness of the color (and the Orange!)

best
Chad
