Personally, at least the 20... The size differential on the mini isn't enough to offset the Much More Musicness of the 20 or 40 GB for me.
Wesley: I stabbed you. I should apologize for that. But I'm honestly not sure how. I think it'll just be awkward. Gunn: Good call. Wesley: Okay.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Ooh, I couldn't do that.
Dude, that is exactly what I said. I've always loved the liner notes and it was such a part of the experience of buying a new CD. But I was looking at my CD pile collecting dust a few months ago and I realized that I never look at them anymore. Honestly, except for foreign music, I haven't purchased a CD since I got my iPod.
Oh, Maria, I have a 15 GB iPod. I think I have about 1600 songs on it and it's half full. Just to give you an idea.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
ita, you and I appear to have the same kind of problems.
A movie might make flying Southwest bearable.
Nonian, I have anywhere between 500-700 CDs, plus about 8 gigs of music on my laptop. Do I listen to it all? Hardly, because I only have a 3 disc changer in the house, and so far it's been a PITA to put on my HD. 40 gigs may not even be enough if I want to store it all.

I'm glad you're back around.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have about 6600 songs on my 40 GB iPod. I rip everything to mp3, and I'm not happy with the sound quality at 128 kbps so I use VBR that averages about 195 kbps. I think I'll be able to fit a little more than 7000 songs on it (not the 10,000 that Apple says, because of the higher bitrate).
The iPod photo has a 60 GB drive. Rumor has it that we'll see an 80 GB iPod this year.

Maria - I lied earlier. I still have a few dozen CDs that I haven't put on the iPod yet because I rarely listen to them. However, as I have been ripping them, I've been putting on only the songs I actually would listen to in the future. I've got a bunch of music where I bought the entire CD because it was the only way to get the one song I liked.

yep. This is me. There are albums where I only rip one song in.

I just get fed-up with agressive panhandlers who demand that I stop and talk to them. Also don't like the panhandlers who threaten to kill me because I didn't give them money.
I had a drunken/inarticulate guy shamble up to me at Overton Square last night asking if I could help him out with a meal. I briefly flirted with the idea of handing him the half-full Doritos bag from my car, but I'm pretty sure it would have been littering the street before I made it to the end of the block.
There was a day back in the fall when I got hit up by panhandlers SIX TIMES in an afternoon, including once in line at the checkout stand in a grocery store. I just barely avoided giving that last one a lecture about him having working limbs that could lift stuff, dig ditches, etc.
