I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Okay, how come $800/$200 posted here looks ridiculous, but when it's in an email from Tivo with pictures and listed as $799/$199, suddenly I want one?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Because Tivo loves you very much and only wants what's best for you.

Note that the new Tivo only works with cable or broadcast TV. It lacks any way to take input from a satellite receiver. How lame.

Ooh. iTunes 7 has the gapless playback thing. It's rather slowly going through all 10,303 of my songs to "determine gapless playback information." (I'm doing this on my G4 Mac Mini, which is why it's slow....)
eta: It also has the option of automatically downloading album art for every song that has none. (Where it find the art and how obcure the songs can be, I know not.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So what are the chances that my local Apple store will have 60GB iPods at a discount? Or that they'll even have the new iPods in stock yet?

Apple usually has new stuff in stock the day they announce it. (eta: come to think of it, some stores do and some don't. I'd say call ahead.) They should also have the 60GBs at a discount until they're gone.

What kind of a discount? Substantial? I get 10% off for turning in my sadly broken iPod, so I'm already looking at about $300 for the 80GB.

Yay! I have gapless playback on my iPod! Something I've wanted since I bought the very first portable mp3 player.
Anyway, I had to upgrade to iTunes 7, and then install the latest iPod software (iTunes asked me as soon as I pluged the iPod in).
This is with my video iPod. Haven't tried the Nano yet.
Speaking of Nanos, the new ones have a backlight scrollwheel.
eta: The iPod passed the Dark Side of the Moon test perfectly.

Me too! It's going to take me a while to get used to the new format.
