• HoeKey - Exactly what I needed

  So I listen to music at work a bunch via headphones (here in Fargo, we've got cubes, not individual offices).

• Mac OS X - when it doesn't "just work"

  My wife, mother in law, father in law, and sister in law all grew up using Macs. I grew up using various unix machines.
