I never did get an iSight or Hi-Fi. Wishing I had, though.

The Apple hi-fi has a 3.5 audio jack, which means you can still use it today if you have one. Wired connections work that way too bad the original HomePod doesn’t have any, I wanted to buy a pair, but the lack of wired connections was a huge stop sign. Speakers good ones last for decades, Bluetooth/Airplay who knows?

Yup, I still use the iPod Hi Fi everyday, as a "soundbar" for a small kitchen TV (24" Vizio, cuz built-in Airplay).
Class D amps, engineering managed by "Podfather" Jon Rubenstein.  Works great!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, my stereo(!) class-A amplifier Apple iPod Hi-Fi is still going strong,
not using the decrepit iPod connectors (or the useless boom-box battery mode), but as a wired
sound bar for my kitchen TV.  If I want to get really fancy, I suppose I could airplay something
to it using ye olde airport express connected via the optical jack!  (Old farts at play.)

Kind of like how the iPhone 9 never really sold well in Germany, which they called the iPhone "Nein".

When I worked at Adobe, Geschke always appeared as a wise and humble man.
The story he relayed to staff after the kidnapping was quite horrific, about his
attempted escape and tense FBI negotiations.  

The Adobe/Apple rift was quite overblown -- sure some of us missed Adobe Premiere
when it temporarily moved from the Mac to Windows.   But even after some
business decision-related tension between the two companies (pre-Flash wind down),
Geschke and Warnock very graciously hosted Steve Jobs at a lunchtime talk
to go over shared history with Postscript on Apple printers.
