Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

In that case, use Handbrake. It can rip directly from the DVD to MP4 in one step, and you can also select specific chapters (handy for TV shows where you only want 1 ep at a time). And if for whatever reason iPod doesn't like Handbrake's MP4 files, you can just open them in Quicktime and select "Export for iPod."

[eta: Oh, and it's free!]

[PS, all of you people with newer iPods than me with your fancy long battery life? Thhhhhhhhhhhpt.]

Hurrah! I think I'm going to be spending all weekend loading movies & videos onto the new shiny shiny iPod.

Oh, and one other question: do Apple retail locations sell iPod cases from other manufacturers? Say, like the ones from www.agent18.com? Or should I just order one now, and wait very impatiently for it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yes, although I don't know about that specific one.

They do, but most Apple stores I've been to have really crappy iPod accessory sections.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm not sure Apple retail locations use pens that come from other manufacturers, let alone selling things.

Well, they sell cameras, printers, hard drives, software, speakers, headphones, etc. that they don't make....

Is that the solid plastic one? My Apple store has those, as well as a couple other kinds.

Yep, the solid clear plastic one. Hmmm, I guess I'll have to call the local Apple store.

I have one of those, which I did purchase at the Apple store.
