Wish List for the MacWorld Keynotes

I present two lists for Lord Steve's consideration: necessary updates to retain market share, and maximum pipe dreams to make the pie higher.

For example, xMac. The Mini almost satisfies our requests, but the lack of GPU upgrade is a deal breaker. C'mon Steve, we don't care if it's a mini-tower, pizza box, or SFF cube, just give us some expandable slots and bays already!
