Apparantly New York is the best/fastest at cleaning up the mess and resuming normal subway service - I've heard it takes them about an hour.
Just as long as nobody sets fire to our only A-train control room, we're good.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Also -- I don't get how they're a lot of work.
You are talking to someone who doesn't play many of her cds because that would involve turning on the cd player, switching the non-remoted tuner to the cd channel thing, putting in or taking out cds and finding the remote. I am lazy, hear me snore.
There is not a cd burner in the house (unless...well, no, I don't think my laptop has one.)
The ipod in theory would make it possible to avoid such. But it would never get set up.
Instead, I listen to a lot of radio. Or nothing.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
There's no mandatory fiddling, honest.
Anyone else picturing "The Devil Went Down to Georgia"?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's no mandatory fiddling, honest.
But I figure that's a big reason why you'd (one would) have one. I mean, I can just play CDs. I get the convenience thing of being able to carry all your music around, but I'm not a person who carries around 10 CDs anyway. Or even one CD, usually.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, if you don't ever play CDs, you can buy an iPod and never use it -- no more work than before, no more music. So you'd be good.

It's big for me. But I may have OCD tendencies. However, just being able to have all my music with me (in car, plane, gym, doctor's office) and being only a skosh away from any album or song -- that'd be worth it anyway. The OCD stuff is gravy.

And if you get an iSkin, they're good for teething toys too.

ita's explanation is cracking me up.
There's less fiddling than you'd imagine. I like having all my music with me and I love having it play randomly, which is pretty fiddle free.
Narrator, yes, that's where both Allyson and lori work. It's the second book on JPL that I've seen or heard about recently.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
By the way, I have a Rio MP3 player that I don't use at all. Don't know what the memory is, probably smallish. Free to a good home if someone wants it.
Really? Are those compatible with iTunes/Mac? I covet an iPod, but it's a bit out of my price range at the moment.
