There's a $50 gap between the 20 GB iPod and the 30 GB iPod photo. You get a color screen AND 10 extra GB. for an extra 0.2 ounces and 0.06 inches of thickness.
Why would I get a normal iPod anymore?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Crap. There's a new iPod software updater, and it's totally frelled my iPod. I plug it in and get the "do not disconnect" message on the iPod, but nothing at all happens on the computer.
It's a 40 Gig iPod - the one before the click-wheel version. The iPod software updater is 2005-02-22.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
News on the DSL thingie: the rebate from Best Buy that I mentioned above? Only good if you sign up for DSL (with MSN) thru them. However, you DO apparantly also get a $75 gift card.
As even further incentive to buy Qwest DSL service and modems, Best Buy and Actiontec are offering modem rebates through April 30. Customers can receive a $65 rebate if they activate Qwest Choice DSL with MSN Premium or Qwest Choice DSL Deluxe with MSN Premium at Best Buy at the same time they buy their modem. Plus, they receive a $5 rebate just for purchasing the modem from Best Buy. Together, the rebates essentially make the modems free to customers. What's more, Best Buy is offering a $75 gift card with the purchase of any DSL service (regardless of provider) through Feb. 26 ($50 gift card between Feb. 27 and March 26). So, if you know someone who's considering signing up for high-speed Internet service, now's the time!

Ok...I just set up a goofy webpage for myself at geocities. Will I be able to put a PDF document up on a page there? How do I go about doing that? I used to be a little more literate in webpage development, but it's all gone out the window.
Reason I'm doing this? I want to post my paper so people can read it.

This happened to mine last week, tommyrot- it got better when I reset it.
I'm glad I got my 40GB when I did, now. Of course, it's covered under a service plan for 4 years, so in the event something DOES happen to Wesley, they'd better plan on fixing him or replacing him with an iPod Photo.

Rumor: Apple considering buying TiVo. [link]
TiVo is denying it, but the rumor was enough to cause a jump in TiVo stock prices.

Hmm, I wonder if the computer store at my uni has any 40 GB iPods on sale as closeouts...
apple.ca doesn't have a store so it's frustrating to compare prices.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Will I be able to put a PDF document up on a page there? How do I go about doing that?
You put a link to a PDF just like you put an HTML link, but when people click on it, the document will open. You may want to put up a note that the link is to a PDF and people will need Acrobat Reader to open it.

Mine's named Angel. We should hook them up so they can be angsty together.

Yeah, but how do I actually get the pdf on the web to link to it? That's what I'm trying to figure out right now.
