Traumwind - exited about GarageBand

It seems I'm in good company being exited about this inexpensive piece of wonder Apple announced. And Brent Simmons has a nice quote from John Gruber, that explains the importance nicey:

What's so cool about GarageBand is that it exemplifies the market that Apple is going after. People who want to use their computers to make cool things. People who want to be producers, not just consumers. If it's possible to distill into a single thought what it is that makes Apple Apple, and what has made the Macintosh so enduringly popular, that's it.
[...]
PC pundits pound their heads against the wall, asking why, if Apple only sells a small percentage of computers, the company receives such a disproportionate amount of media attention. The answer is simply that they're selling the best computers, to the most interesting people. Maybe it is only two percent of the total PC market, but it's the most interesting two percent.
