Writing to you from Mildura, Australia, where the World Hot Air Balloon Championships are being held at the moment. To my disgust, a hot air balloon has just flown over with Microsoft Windows XP all over it. Does anyone know if Apple has a balloon, LOL? i would like to see it.

Or jump on board; I'm sure it's easily exploitable.

You can get some photos of the festival at 2004worldsballoons.com under photo gallery. Its a pretty awesome thing to be happening in such a small place in Australia. I dont have a digi cam at the mo so I cant take any myself, but there were 50 balloons in the sky yesterday morning. www.nudie.com.au is the oficial sponsor, and that website is quite good (nudies mascot is so cute)

The MS balloon did look a little outdated, bleached, ugly, useless... there are many more to come... i will c if i can get a photo of it.
