    It dawned on me the other day. In the past two years, I bought an Apple TV (which I think is the coolest thing since sliced bread), an iPhone, a Nano for my father-in-law, and I just signed up for a bank account that will get a free iPod Touch for my wife.

    The future plan is to use the iPod Touch and iPhone's free "Remote" app to create a poor man's Sonos after investing in an Airport Express that will give us the ability to queue up iTunes music from the computer in our basement to the speakers in our living room.

    Am I a fanboy yet, or do I need to buy a Mac first?

    At least I think MobileMe is a piece of trash.

    Nah, I don't think so, you just use the mobile 'iDevices'.

    I think the Apple TV qualifies you, but for the complete experience, you should get a Mac. :D

    Not boy, fanboy!

    The term is about 90 years old.

    And yes, BB is an Apple fanboy.

    I don't know about you, but I love Apple.

    I have:
    two iPod Touch
    three other iPods of various sizes
    three iPod Nanos
    two iPod shuffles
    even a first gen iPod stick
    Apple TV
    iMac
    iPhone
    iJukebox (okay, that is not made by Apple but it's named that)
    two Mac Minis
    Apple stickers on my cars, and on my front door to the house.

    Yup. I drank the Kool Aid.

    My only Apple product is an iPod Shuffle. Does that make me a fanboy? :D
    It seems weird to call you an Apple fanboy when you don't even have a Mac.

    You're an Apple fanboy, but a weird one. It's sort of like being a fan of Elizabethan theater but never have read or seen a play by Shakespeare.

    <JerrySeinfeld>"What's the deal with the Apple TV!?! It's not an apple, and it's not a TV!!!</JerrySeinfeld>

    Now that's a fanboy!

    Okay, so one iPod's headphone in one ear, one in the other, maybe if you shove a third headphone up your nose and crank up the volume you'd be able to hear it.

    After that, I'm all out of orifices in earshot!

    Seriously, why so many?

    I figure I'll have my iPhone and my wife will have the Touch once we get it. We'll probably sell our old 20 GB iPod at that point I think.

    Do you have your Airport Expresses set up as music servers controlled by the "Remote" app? I'd be curious to see what you think of the setup if so.

    It's MobileMe now, and it's a horrible service so far. Apple keeps appologizing for it and giving people free time.

    I have it, but I'm pretty unsatisfied with the experience. :mad:

    They are filled with various lists, and put in various places around the house, in the car. One is filled with nothing but classical, for instance. The one in the car is a 160GB one. I have over 30,000 songs in that one. And it's not even my complete collection.

    I have a diner juke box in the kitchen with a Touch. I have a juke box in the pub with another Touch. I have a iPod Nano with relaxing music in my bed room on a iClock Radio.

    One in the bathroom.

    One outside near my grills, hooked up to a Sony iPod radio. My wife has one, and it's in her car. I mean, the list is long.
