It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

does anyone know of good sites for audiobooks compatible with iPods? Sounds like a fun way to spend driving time.

iTunes has a bunch of books and longer radio programs (I downloaded a bunch of THis American Life for long car trips).

I'm sorry, Betsy! They're teasing you!

I shoulda brought you the first set of S2. I feel bad I didn't.

FYI...dealnews.com has some info about some price reductions on Ipod shuffles. I can't remember if someone was looking for one here, but just in case.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

So, now that I'm finally ready to pull the trigger on my powerbook purchase -- I should wait until after the 15th?

At some point, Apple should make an announcement that new systems purchased after a certain date will be able to upgrade to Tiger for free.

Unless you really want it now. A few times they have offered the newer software at a reduced price to people who bought new computers in the last 2 months, say, but don't fall in the shorter window. If you are in no rush, I'd wait for Tom's announcement.

I wish it wasn't Comcast, but better that than no TiVo.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I just hope TiVo will still work for non-Comcast subscribers.
